It was a Pakistani national, working as a lawyer for a Hong Kong visa processing firm, who sent the anonymous email to India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) alleging Indore resident Sarfaraz Memon, 40, was a terror threat who had received military training in China, Hong Kong, and Pakistan, sources have told mid-day. Investigations by the Indore police and Maharashtra ATS have not found any terror-related evidence against Memon, sources said, adding merely that his travel pattern looks suspicious. He has been released from custody.
Upon receiving the mail, multiple agencies worked on tracking its origin. They found it came from a Hong Kong IP address linked to a phone number issued by a Chinese telecom company.
