Delhi court sent Shoaib Hasan to 11-day police custody on Friday after the agency said he was to be confronted with two other arrested men to unearth the larger conspiracy.
A Delhi court sent Shoaib Hasan, the third accused arrested in connection with the alleged Pakistan espionage case, to 11-day police custody on Friday after the agency said he was to be confronted with two other arrested men to unearth the larger conspiracy.
The investigating officer said the accused, who was allegedly working for an ISI spy ring, was produced before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Satish Arora and remanded for custodial interrogation till November 8. Delhi Police claimed that Hasan was involved in the espionage ring in which Pakistan High Commission staffer Mehmood Akhtar, described as the kingpin working for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, was detained by police for alleged possession of sensitive defence documents.
Akhtar, who worked in the visa section of the High Commission, was released on Thursday after questioning as he enjoyed diplomatic immunity, police said. A court had on Thursday sent two persons -- Maulana Ramzan and Subhash Jangir -- to the police custody till November 8.
During the proceedings on Friday, police alleged that more persons were likely to be apprehended in the case and recovery of certain documents and others items was also to be made with the help of the accused. The agency also said that all the three accused persons would be confronted with each others and taken to various places for the investigation.
Hasan was arrested in Delhi on Friday after being brought from Jodhpur, with police claiming that he was in touch with Akhtar for the last three-four years and had visited the neighbouring country six times. Investigators said they will try to recover data from a ''phablet'' seized from his possession, which he had tried to damage when police in Jodhpur detained him last evening.
The police has claimed that Hasan, a passport and visa agent, was responsible for recruiting the other two arrested accused in the module. The agency claimed that besides a phablet, some classified documents were also recovered from Hasan. Hasan was detained near Jodhpur last evening after Delhi police alerted the local police.
The other two accused were arrested on charges of sharing of sensitive information and defence documents and deployment details of BSF along the Indo-Pak border. The duo were sent to 12-day police custody on Thursday. Hasan had come in contact with Maulana Ramzan around one -and-a-half years back and lured him into activities of collecting vital information about installations of army and paramilitary forces in Gujarat and Rajasthan, an officer claimed.
