Pakistan high commission staffer was kingpin of spy racket: Delhi police

October 27, 2016 12:30

A Delhi police official in a press conference revealed details about the spy racket being carried out from the Pakistan high commission.

The official disclosed that the Pakistan high commission staffer, who was earlier detained, had documents about BSF deployment to the Pakistanis.

He revealed that besides the Pakistan high commission staffer, two residents -- Maulana Ramzan and Subhash Jangir -- were also arrested after receiving credible inputs about the spy racket.

According to the official, Maulana Ramzan and Jangir were recruits by the staffer. The official said that Ramzan taught children in a mosque while Jangir had a small business, which was not doing well.

When the three were arrested, the Pakistan high commission staffer initially revealed himself to be Mehmood Rajput, a resident of Chandni Chowk in Delhi and also produced an Aadhar card.

It was only after further probing that it was disclosed that he was a Pakistani high commission staffer and used to work with the visa section.

Talking about the documents that were recovered, the official said that it contained information about BSF deployments along the border and also of officials -- past and present -- who served in the BSF.

Officials added that they are hunting for a man known as Shoaib, who had recruited Maulani Ramzan.
