Hyderabad: The Military Intelligence has foiled a major plot by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to extract sensitive information from security personnel posted at Jammu and Kashmir through a Hyderabad-based suspect.
“Investigation is still under progress and more arrests and raids may take place. It is believed that these facilities pose a formidable security concern as they provide an illegal and surreptitious alternative to make international calls to India,” said the officials.
The Hyderabad police confirmed the arrest of Dileep Kumar, who used to run an internet café on Shivam Road earlier. After shutting it down, he started the VoIP exchange, causing a loss to the department of telecom. Dileep was earning six to 10 paise per unit for rerouting international calls to domestic users.
The Hyderabad police who registered a case against Dileep is probing whether he has links with any terror outfit or persons working for the outfits.
Officials said they did not receive any concrete data about links of Dileep with the terror outfits, but were looking into all angles as the matter involved national security.
