India keeps war hysteria alive, says ‘spy’ held

[ManuZ]

Jodhpur: Barely two days after the conclusion of Indian Air Force's air exercise 'Iron Fist' in Pokhran, a suspected spy has been caught passing information of the war games to an ISI operative in Pakistan.

Sumer Khan (34), a computer expert, was taken into custody by army intelligence from his house in Pokhran on Sunday and was being grilled by security agencies, SP Jaisalmer Pankaj Kumar Chaudhary said on Monday.

Intelligence sources said that Mr Sumer was sharing information of the IAF's exercise with his maternal uncle in Rahim Yar Khan in Pakistan for the past few days. His uncle has been working for Inter-Services Intelligence for the last few years, they said.


Mr Sumer is currently under the custody of the Joint Interrogation Cell in Jaipur where the security agencies are questioning him.

The sources said he was caught after his calls to Pakistan were intercepted by the army intelligence and Intelligence Bureau.

They claimed that Mr Sumer had been working for his uncle for the past two years and had been sharing vital information related to all the exercises, which have taken place in the region in the past two years besides the various defence installations in the region.

Following interception of his calls to Pakistan, he was caught from his home in Pokhran on Sunday morning.

A 10th class passout, Mr Sumer is an expert in computers and would talk to his uncle over phone in code words.

He would frequently travel to Pakistan and is believed to have passed on maps and other documents pertaining to defence structure in the western sector.

What is the use on "spying" on these war games when the entire exercise was TELEVISED and commentated. There was nothing even remotely sensitive/classified about these exercises, all you had to do was watch DD!!

Or entire military establishment of Pakistan had to visit Pakistan Defence and in that case... shouldn't all members of Pak Defence be nabbed by Indian authorities then ? LMAO !

I was going to post this but then realised how ridiculous this news sounds, what could a person on the ground spy on something flying in the mid-air or not that the exhibition of fire-power was kept secret, but knowing the Indian psyche, non incidents are known to be generalised..... keeps the home crowd happy. !!

Its amazing how India does not have a database with anyone who has fmaily members in Kahsir or Pakistan or any other muslim country. We need to keep a strict classified vigil

I believe on another thread there was laughter about how exchange of emails between Israel and Pakistan and the Pakistani being caught was really funny....

..exactly...this guy should have logged into PDF to know the "inside info"...
Actually the amount of "inside info" floating in PDF, Indian intelligence should actively 'scan' this forum..
I remember the years old case of a Pune lad , son of An32 pilot..wanted to post something Su 30 MKI's pics in the , now dysfunction, PDF, and was warned by ...
..Indian members should refrain from sharing too much info on public domain...Space scientist included.

While we all know that the PM gives his sedating bhaashan from Laal Kila every 15th August, and is televised live, we never know the travel arrangements. The same happens when Missiles are launched and watched by millions - live on TV. But the arrangements details are considered Top Secret.

Anyone with a prior knowledge of the details of Iron Fist could easily gather resources to sabotage the exercise, or worse - help other countries prepare to make the best move/statement for any unexpected and unfavorable outcome out of such well publicized exercises.
