How this spy from Rajasthan helped ISI run disinformation campaign post Article 370
2021-12-04
[OneIndia] The Rajasthan police recently nabbed one Nibab Khan on the ground that he was working for the Pakistain's spy agency ISI. The police said that he had been working as a spy and sharing sensitive information with Pakistain since 2015.

He is suspected to have received renumeration from Pakistain for supplying sensitive information relating to the Indian Army. Khan was arrested by the Rajasthan Police CID with the help of the central agencies under the Official Secrets Act. He was also said to be in touch with officials in the Pakistain High Commission.

Khan came in touch with the ISI during his visit to Pakistain in 2015. After being trained for 15 days in intelligence gathering, he was paid Rs 10,000. The payments that were made to him later were through hawala channels, the police also learnt.

The major role played by Khan was activating social media accounts, which were used heavily to run a disinformation campaign following the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
With the internet serviced being suspended in J&K, social media accounts were created and a disinformation campaign was run to create unrest. Khan also used the social media accounts to share information relating to the Army movements and deployments in Pakistain. The social media was misused by Pakistain to put out false narratives about Kashmir and provoke the people.

Khan runs a shop that sells mobile phones and SIM cards. Director General of Intelligence, Rajasthan Police said that he had been spying for the ISI for a long time.
