Pakistani spy arrested in Pathannkot

Pathankot: Irshad Ahman, a Pakistani spy according to intelligence reports, was arrested by the Punjab Police on Monday. According to the police Irshad worked undercover for ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) as a labourer at one of Indian Army’s Division headquarters in Pathankot.

The arrest comes in as a shock, just after the Indian Air Force’s base at Pathankot was attacked by Pakistani militants a fortnight back.

It is reported that the police have recorded pictures of installations from Irshad’s phone and intelligence and security agencies are also looking for Irshad’s connections with last month’s terror attacks.

However, a direct link between the spy and terror attack is yet to be established.

It is also reported that the team has almost completed its investigation into five cellphone numbers (allegedly used for making calls from Pakistan to India) provided by the Indian government. No further leads were found from these numbers because they were unregistered and had fake identities.
