The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has put a Pakistani diplomat on its list and has released his photograph, seeking information, news agency ANI reported.
The individual identified as Amir Zubair Siddique is a Pakistani official who worked as a visa counsellor in the High Commission of Pakistan in Colombo, Sri Lanka, the investigation agency said.
He has been identified as 'Boss' in the NIA website.
According to a Deccan Chronicle report, Siddiqui would recruit spies and instruct them to collect information about defence installations, movement of arms and nuclear establishments. Among the installations, they planned to attack the US consulate in Chennai, the Israeli Consulate in Bengaluru, Eastern Naval Command Head Quarter, Visakhapatnam and ports in the country.
According to a report by the Hindu, Siddique and two others for circulating high quality Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) with the objective of destabilising India’s economy and waging a war against the country.
The two others who have been put on the ‘wanted’ list apart from Siddiqui, are a Pakistani intelligence officer who went by his alias ‘Vineeth’, and another official codenamed ‘Boss alias Shah', The Times of India reported, adding that another official had been added, taking the list of wanted individuals to four.
Interestingly, Siddiqui was arrested for allegedly conspiring to attack vital establishments in India and was quietly withdrawn even before the NIA’s request under Mutual Assistance Legal Treaty (MLAT) reached Colombo, the New Indian Express reported.
The 4,000-page supplementary charge-sheet filed in the Special Court for Terror Cases at Poonamallee near here said that the terror plot came to light after the NIA police personnel arrested an ISI agent Mohammed Zakir Hussain (37) through the ‘Q’ Branch of the Tamil Nadu police in 2013. The reason was that he was gathering details about vital installations in Tamil Nadu and sent photographs to Siddique, the report added.
