Pak caller tricks NSG officer; gets Hyderabad blasts info

A telephone call originating from Pakistan to an officer of the elite National Security Guards (NSG) seeking information about Hyderabad blasts has led security agencies to make a fresh push for blocking of Internet telephony.

The call to a Major-rank NSG officer, who is on deputation from Army, was termed as “not alarming” but the incident has raised questions about adherence of ‘Do’s and Dont’s’ being issued from time to time by central security agencies.

The NSG has instituted an inquiry to ascertain the cause of lapse in the incident wherein a suspected ISI agent called the EPBX of the NSG office here and asked for the Major, who reportedly talked about the movement of the ‘Black Cats’ to the site of the twin blasts thinking it was a senior officer at the other end as conveyed to him.

However, the officer did not share any important evidence about the trigger mechanism of the explosives that was used in the blasts in Hyderabad’s Dilsukhnagar area last month that had left 16 people dead.

NSG chief Arvind Ranjan has “ordered an inquiry” but said there was nothing alarming in the conversation as no vital information had been leaked to the unidentified caller from Pakistan.


VoIP to blame

According to sources on Tuesday, a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call is becoming handy for ISI agents and terrorists operating from Pakistan and ****************** Kashmir (***).

The mushrooming of unregistered VoIP or Internet telephony is becoming a security problem as the origin of caller and time of call cannot be ascertained immediately.

Central security agencies have been pressing Department of Telecom to ask service providers to come up with a solution for which several rounds of meetings have taken place between ***, National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) and service providers.


However, no solution has been found to block unregistered VoIP operating from outside the country’s borders.

War mongering Orange Idiots at their best.

And then putting the blame on VoIP, without even bothering to find out how the caller managed to get the Major's name, phone number and the station. Did the camel or the pigeon relayed all these info back to ISI.

Should have used the ISI's wunderwaffe, the "SMS Bomb"

Nothing is impossible for a determined intelligence agency

but your op got detected, no? an org's intel gathering op getting exposed in the MSM can't be a sign of the intel agency being any good at its job, wouldn't you agree?

Since we're all salivating over news reports citing unnamed sources, heres another

Sources say that the call was a routine drill by the counter-intelligence unit of the MI to check if procedures and rules were being followed that includes not letting out information.

As per standard operating procedure, any information is not supposed to be shared till the identity of the caller is established. Also, communication should be held through secured networks. In the case of the NSG officer, the communication was through a non- secured line, even though no sensitive information was passed on.

Pakistanis are busy calling NSG officers when their own country is burning in hell fire. Build your nation guys. Petty phone calls like these won't change anything .

If there was ever a list of a countries with absolutely messed up( misplaced is an understatement) priorities, Pakistan's name would be right up there.

not possible until he breach the network,,, or he should be part of same network,,,

A telephone call originating from Pakistan to a senior officer of India’s elite National Security Guards (NSG) seeking information about Hyderabad blasts has led security agencies to make a fresh push for blocking of Internet telephony, reported Indian media on Tuesday.

The call to a major-rank NSG officer, who is on deputation from Army, was termed ‘not alarming’ but the incident has raised questions about adherence of ‘Do’s and Dont’s’ being issued from time to time by Indian central security agencies.

Quoting sources, India Today said the officer is serving in the counter-terror unit of the ‘black cats’ force.

The NSG has instituted an inquiry to ascertain the cause of lapse in the incident wherein a suspected Pakistani intelligence agent called the EPBX of the NSG office here and asked for the Major, who reportedly talked about the movement of the ‘Black Cats’ to the site of the twin blasts thinking it was a senior officer at the other end as conveyed to him.

However, the officer did not share any important evidence about the trigger mechanism of the explosives that was used in the blasts in Hyderabad last month that had left 16 people dead.

NSG chief Arvind Ranjan has “ordered an inquiry” but said there was nothing alarming in the conversation as no vital information had been leaked to the unidentified caller from Pakistan.

According to sources on Tuesday, a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call is becoming handy for Pakistani agents operating from Pakistan.

However, no solution has been found to block unregistered VoIP operating from outside the country’s borders.

Such calls were even received at the office of the Superintendent of Police (Sopore) in north Held Kashmir last year whereby a policeman gave information about movement of their SP to the caller who had identified himself as Deputy Inspector General of Police. However, timely intervention saved the officer as his route was changed as otherwise he would have fallen into the trap.

Blaming the VoIP squarely is unprecedented. The officer concerned should have verified the call before answering.How did the caller get the concerned officer's phone number is to be probed.There should be a mechanism by which such calls be routed through intelligence and only genuine calls be answered.For this the officers should be restrained to use their personal telephones while on duty.Our intelligence need sprucing up.
