Pakistan spies ring illegal Indian telephone exchanges for secret info
4-5 minutes
A call from a Pakistani spy agency to an
Army installation in eastern
India has led to the unravelling of an
illegal telephone exchange in Bengaluru, raising questions whether similar systems were operational in other parts of the country, officials said on Thursday.
The entire racket was busted by the
Military Intelligence wing of the Army's Southern Command which had intercepted the call received at the Army installation in eastern India a few weeks back.
During the call, a spy from
Pakistan was asking about general details while posing as a senior officer.
On further investigation, the intelligence sleuths found that some other offices located in various formations such as the Movement Control Office (MCO) as well as the Principal Comptroller of Defence Account (PCDA) were also receiving such calls seeking details from them.
