The National Investigation Agency has arrested a Pak-backed spy involved in clandestinely passing confidential security-related information to Pakistan Intelligence Officers as part of an anti-India terror conspiracy.
The Kolkata resident, Zafar Riaz, had a Look Out Circular issued against him and proceedings were also under way to declare him a Proclaimed Offender when he was taken into custody. Arrested under various sections, the accused was married to a Pakistani national, with his children also Pak citizens.
Convicted earlier in an espionage case under the IPC and Official Secrets Act, Zafar had been travelling frequently between India and Pakistan since 2005.
NIA is continuing with its investigation to trace others involved in the espionage racket and to unveil the larger conspiracy behind the plot.
