The Special Cell of Delhi Police is intensely questioning Qasim, a Pakistani spy, who was nabbed in the Deeng area of Bharatpur, Rajasthan. The initial interrogation has exposed some startling revelations. Qasim has confessed that he received approximately 200,000 Pakistani Rupees in various installments from Pakistan’s intelligence agency, ISI, in exchange for sending military activity information from India.
According to sources, during interrogation, Qasim informed the police that he had deleted all data from his mobile phone. This measure was taken after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, when arrests of spies linked to Pakistan began escalating in India. Fearing his capture, he erased all messages, call details, and location history from his phone. Nevertheless, Delhi Police has sent Qasim's phone for forensic examination, and only after the report will it be clear what and how much information he shared with Pakistan.
Special Cell is now evaluating Qasim's Call Detail Records (CDR) to trace which areas he visited after returning to India and identify the people he contacted. The police are also trying to ascertain whether he was working alone or was part of a larger network in India. Sources indicate that Qasim returned to India from Pakistan a week before the Pahalgam attack, as found in his document verification.
How Did He Connect with ISI?
Police sources report that Qasim has relatives living in Pakistan. It was through them that he traveled there and encountered ISI officials. They told Qasim that his brother Anes worked for them and persuaded him to join their cause, emphasizing his influence as a cleric whom people trusted. Police also disclosed that Qasim’s brother Anis is currently on the run, with ongoing efforts to locate him. He too has traveled to Pakistan several times. Qasim was subsequently given formal training on how to engage with the army, what questions to ask, and how to avoid capture.
Training in Espionage and Precautionary Lessons
Sources reveal Qasim was tasked with collecting information about army movements, military bases, and camp locations. His training included using mobile phones covertly and a call-time strategy to avoid location tracing. Police suspect he might have relayed numerous sensitive details to Pakistan.
The interrogation has further revealed that Qasim’s brother Anes is a central figure in this network and remains at large. Police are actively searching for him, as he is believed to have strong ties with ISI, having traveled to Pakistan many times. The Delhi Police Special Cell is considering this case as part of a larger espionage network, closely monitoring additional potential agents and contacts identified through Qasim’s disclosures. More arrests may follow soon.
