Delhi Police Special Cell interrogates alleged Pakistani spy
The interrogation so far has revealed that Kasim has received about 2 lakh Pakistani rupees in different instalments from Pakistan in exchange for spying.
During the interrogation, Kasim said that he had deleted all the data from the phone. He has said that when the spies started getting caught in India post the Pahalgam attack, he deleted the data from his phone. However, the police will get the phone forensically examined to verify his claims.
The police are waiting for the forensic report of his mobile phone to identify his contacts in Pakistan. The police are trying to trace Kasim's call detail record (CDR) to know his contacts in India.
According to police sources, Kasim's relatives live in Pakistan. Taking advantage of this, he went to Pakistan and came in contact with Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI. The interrogation revealed that the ISI told Kasim that his brother Anees works for them.
ISI asked Kasim to join them like his brother did, as he is a 'Maulvi' and people trust him. As per police sources, his brother is absconding.
As per the sources, the accused was given proper training in spying. He was training in making contact with the army and how not to get caught.
Post Operation Sindoor, police across states are nabbing Pakistani spies. On May 18, Haryana Police arrested several individuals alleged to perform espionage activities for Pakistan. Among the recent arrests, YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, accused of spying against India, has made the headlines.
On May 26, Haryana's Hisar District Court sent Jyoti into judicial custody, and the first hearing of her case is scheduled on June 9. (ANI)

J&K: Operation Akhal Enters Day 11, Intermediate Firing Reported
As of August 11, 2025, Operation Akhal in the Akhal forests of Kulgam district has entered its 11th day. The operation, launched on August 1, 2025, by a joint team of the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, CRPF, and Special Operations Group (SOG), targets terrorists hiding in the dense Akhal forest area, based on specific intelligence inputs. One terrorist killing has been confirmed so far, identified as Haris Nazir Dar, a Pulwama resident affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba. Reports suggest three to four more may still be hiding in natural cave-like hideouts in dense forests. Two Indian Army soldiers, Lance Naik Pritpal Singh and Sepoy Harminder Singh, were killed, and a total of 11 security personnel have been injured since the operation began. The operation has seen intense firefights, with security forces using drones, helicopters, rocket launchers, and para commandos to maintain a tight cordon in the challenging terrain. Heavy exchanges of fire, including the use of UAVs, FPV drones, and light machine guns, have been reported, with an explosion noted at the site on previous days, but last night there was light and intermediate firing only seemed speculative fire from security forces. Residents have requested to be cautious, and authorities have also appointed nodal officers to assist them in case of an emergency. Operation Akhal is part of a broader counter-terrorism effort in Jammu and Kashmir, following other operations like Operation Mahadev and Operation Shivshakti, which killed 5 Pakistani terrorists. The operation remains ongoing, with security forces maintaining a strong perimeter and senior officials, including J&K Police chief Nalin Prabhat and Northern Army Commander Lt Gen Pratik Sharma, closely monitoring the situation.

Amid Bihar Dy CM voter ID row, Akhilesh alleges bogus voting in UP: 'CM facilitated vote loot'
After RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's allegation that Bihar deputy chief minister Vijay Kumar Sinha has two EPIC numbers, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav trained guns at Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath accusing him of "facilitating vote loot". Akhilesh Yadav talking to mediapersons in Etawah on Saturday. (HT PHOTO) Bihar deputy chief minister Vijay Kumar Sinha on Sunday responded to Tejashwi Yadav's allegation that he holds two elector's photo identity card (EPIC) numbers in different constituencies. "Our whole family had voter IDs from Bankipur. In April 2024, I applied to add my name to the Lakhisarai constituency and remove it from Bankipur. It did not happen immediately, so I called the BLO, filled the form, and took the receipt. I have all the documents. "I voted from only one place last time too; it was in Lakhisarai," Sinha said, according to an ANI news agency report. Akhilesh alleges bogus voting in UP Connecting the row with Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav said, '...If their deputy CM has two EPIC numbers, here [in UP] the CM was facilitating vote loot. The CM here was facilitating booth Ayodhya, who were the education department officials who were delegating duty to others? In Mirapur, the commissioner, SSP and DM were going around with force to make sure that people did not step out to vote,' ANI posted a video of Akhilesh Yadav speaking. "Did we not see a revolver being aimed at women? Was the Election Commission sleeping? That is why we had gone to offer them a white 'chadar'. When officers become criminals to loot votes, who will take action?" Akhilesh Yadav added, referring to an incident where a UP cop allegedly pointed gun at woman voters in Mirapur during by-elections conducted on nine seats of Uttar Pradesh in November 2024. Meanwhile, the Patna district magistrate on Sunday wrote to Vijay Kumar Sinha, seeking to submit his response regarding holding two electors' photo identity card (EPIC) numbers in different constituencies. Patna DM in the letter mentioned that Sinha's name has been found recorded at both places. "Regarding the inclusion of your name in the voter lists of two Assembly constituencies in the draft electoral roll published based on the qualification date 01.07.2025," he said. The DM further asked the Deputy CM to submit his response on this matter by August 14.
