New Delhi: The man, whose address was mentioned in the forged Aadhaar card of a Pakistan High Commission staffer detained for his involvement in an espionage ring, was “shocked”, saying he got to know about the case only after his house had a beeline of journalists.
The Pakistan High Commission staffer, Mehmood Akhtar, was picked up along with his two accomplices from Delhi Zoo. Mr Akhtar claimed to be a resident of Chandani Chowk and produced a forged Aadhaar card bearing the house address 2350, Gali Near Madari, Rodgran Mohalla.
However, Mohd Asif, who owns the house, said, “I don’t know how and why my address was there in the card. We only got to know about it after mediapersons came to my house to ask me about how my address was there in that person’s Aadhaar card. It's shocking for us.” Asif said he and his family have been living in the area for the last 40 years and that the house is a part of their family legacy.
