Three persons, including an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agent from Pakistan, were arrested by the Madhya Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) from capital Bhopal for allegedly passing on sensitive information about the Indian Army, PTI reported. "Mohammed Imran Warsi, the ISI agent hailing from Karachi, was arrested in Bhopal yesterday with sensitive information regarding deployment, unit details and important phone numbers of the Indian Army," Inspector General of Police (STF), Sanjeev Singh, told reporters in Bhopal. On information gathered from him, police arrested two others — Iqbal and Akhtar—, who were acting as his local contacts and supplying him sensitive information, Singh said. Imran had allegedly been passing on sensitive information through e-mail and phone to his "handlers" in Pakistan and Dubai, from where he received the funding through Western Union money transfer, Singh stated. The ISI agent, who was staying in Bhopal with his wife and two children, had managed to procure a ration card, pan card and permanent resident certificate from Sagar, and had applied for an Indian Passport, he added.
