Jaisalmer: A spy from Pakistan, arrested in Rajasthan, is being interrogated in Jaisalmer today.
Nandlal Maharaj was tracked down on Wednesday at a hotel in Jaisalmer. "He had maps of the border areas and photographs, he is probably part of a big espionage network," said Gaurav Yadav, Superintendent of Police.
Intelligence sources believe he was helping to smuggle weapons and explosives into India.
He was then seen in one of the 350 villages along the Jaisalmer border that are out of bounds for foreigners; Indians also need special permission to enter the zone. Villagers told investigators that Maharaj was offering money in exchange for information on high-security areas and arrangements.
