The Rajasthan Police on Monday, 25 March, arrested a 42-year-old man from Delhi for allegedly spying for Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI, officials said.

Mohammed Parvez was already arrested by the NIA for anti-national activities and was in judicial custody since 2017. He was brought on Monday for interrogation, following which the state police arrested him, Additional Director General (Intelligence) Umesh Mishra said.

Parvez allegedly honey-trapped Indian Army soldiers through fake identity to collect confidential and strategic information and passed those to the ISI, which gave him financial support, the officer said.
