The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has initiated a manhunt for a suspect identified as Arman, who is a recruiter and talent scout for Pakistan’s ISI. The ATS team arrived in Mumbai after apprehending an individual in UP who was actively involved with the ISI, providing them with significant information about sensitive locations within the state. During his interrogation, Mohammed Raees disclosed crucial details about Arman’s involvement and the recruitment process he uses. The UP ATS revealed that, based on confidential information, undercover agents of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI were operating in critical locations within the state, collecting sensitive information, and passing it on to the ISI for further action.
According to the ATS, Raees, a resident of Gonda in UP, had lived in Mumbai for several years. He worked various jobs, including at a bakery, and later shifted to wood polishing work. Raees has also claimed to have worked with a five-star hotel in Mumbai, handling veneer polish. Recently, he was exposed as an ISI agent who provided crucial and confidential information obtained through his contacts to the Pakistani agency. “During the investigation, videos of sensitive locations of the Indian Army and other defence establishments in UP were recovered from his cell phone,” Additional Director General (ADG) Naveen Arora, UP ATS, told mid-day.
