Intelligence Bureau, RAW and Rajasthan state intelligence agency have arrested a suspected Pakistani spy from Rajasthan. Nandlal Maharaj (26) was arrested in a joint operation by the intelligence agencies.



Sources have revealed that Nandlal and his network sneaked in about 35 kilograms of RDX from India-Pakistan border along Rajasthan. The explosives were dispatched reportedly to carry out blasts at various locations across the country.

The intelligence has also recovered a diary from Nandlal. The diary reportedly has details of financial transactions between the spy and Pakistan's premier intelligence service Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The diary reveals key details like time and amount of transactions.

DIARY RECOVERED DIVULGES DETAILS OF TRANSACTIONS



As per the diary, Nandlal was reportedly paid about Rs 70,000 for trading the explosives. The agencies have initiated a probe to find out where all these explosives have been dispatched by the suspected spy.

Nandlal, who is a Hindu, hails from Khipro, Sanghar in Sindh of Pakistan. According to sources, Nandlal operates a textile showroom in Pakistan and earns a sum of Rs 3,000 each month.

Police recovered two mobile phones and about 20 Pakistani SIM cards from him. Maps belonging to several military networks too were recovered from Nandlal.



NANDLAL NABBED AFTER 48-HOUR LONG OPERATION

Nandlal was nabbed after a 48-hour-long search operation carried out by the three intelligence agencies. Police have said that about eight other operatives who worked closely with Nandlal have fled after they learnt about his arrest.

The arrest of the spy and recovery of the RDX cache has raised several questions on the functioning of the Border Security Force (BSF). Sources said that Pakistan has been recruiting Hindus residing in towns adjacent to the border to camouflage them as Indians. The spies reportedly communicated using satellite phones with their agents in Pakistan.
