“They used to transmit important defence and security related informations to their headquarters in Pakistan by e-mail,” the DGP told a press conference in Jaipur.
“Jaipur-based ISI agent Nasir Ali is originally from Chakkoria of Multan in Pakistan and jodhpur-based Jishan Alam is from Gujranwala in Pakistan,” Kumar said. “Both are highly educated and well versed in information technology and Indian life style,” he said.
“Their modus operandi has shown that the transfer of information on activities of the Army and the Air Force to Pakistan has been intensified and got sophisticated,” he said.
“The duo was arrested by the Rajasthan police in a joint operation with Punjab police and Central Intelligence Bureau,” Kumar said.
“One of them was produced before a court which remanded him to police custody, while the other was yet to be produced before the court,” he said. ` “Some arms and ammunition and narcotics were recovered from the Jodhpur based ISI agent,” he said.
