Accused Ansarul Mian Ansari of Nepalese origin came to Delhi on the request of Pakistani intelligence agency ISI. He was asked by the ISI to make CDs of highly confidential documents related to the Indian military and send them to Pakistan.
Akhlakh Azam was also arrested by the Central agencies from Ranchi after questioning Ansarul. Akhlakh was helping Ansarul to send Indian Army documents to Pakistan’s ISI officials.
From January 2025 to March 2025, the central agencies conducted a full-fledged operation to eliminate the sleeper cells of the ISI in a highly secretive manner. The special cell of Delhi Police was also involved in this operation.
A forensic examination of the documents recovered from Ansarul was conducted which confirmed that the recovered documents were confidential documents of the Armed Forces.
Ansarul of Nepali origin, who was arrested from a hotel in Delhi, revealed that he used to work as a cab driver in Qatar, where he met the ISI handler.
The investigation by the Central agencies raises suspicion about some staffers of the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi. ISI officers Muzammil and Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, who had been trying to influence Indian YouTubers and social media influencers, were also believed to be involved in the plan, reports suggested.
