Gurgaon lawyer turns ISI informer? Police claim massive flow of money and secret intel to Pakistan

The Nuh police have arrested a local lawyer for allegedly spying and passing classified information to Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, officials said on Wednesday. The arrest was made following inputs shared by a central investigative agency. This marks the third suspected Pakistani spy arrested from the Mewat region this year, raising security concerns in the area.

The accused has been identified as Rizwan, a resident of Kharkhadi village in Nuh district and a practising advocate at the Gurugram court. Police officials said he was detained for questioning two days ago and was placed under formal arrest after a case was registered against him at Tauru Sadar police station.

Another lawyer has been detained in connection with the case, and his role is currently being examined. Investigators believe Rizwan communicated sensitive information to the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

Crores Allegedly Routed Through Hawala Networks

According to a senior investigating officer, Rizwan allegedly brought crores of rupees into India through hawala channels controlled by ISI handlers in Pakistan. The money was then reportedly redirected for terror financing, espionage activities, and drug smuggling.

Officials also found evidence of multiple high-value transactions in Rizwan’s Punjab National Bank account at the Tawadu branch. The officer added that Rizwan had been travelling to Punjab frequently, and the purpose of these visits is under scrutiny.

Legal Action and Ongoing Investigation

Police have registered an FIR under Section 113 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 17 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Authorities have begun the process of freezing Rizwan’s bank accounts. Large-scale raids and extensive technical investigations are underway to unearth the wider network.

Nuh SP Rajesh Kumar was unavailable for comment, but a senior police official confirmed the arrest and the ongoing action.

Not the First Case in Mewat This Year

The latest arrest comes after two previous cases involving suspected Pakistani spies in the Mewat region:

In May, Mohammad Tarif, a resident of Kangarka village, was arrested for allegedly sharing sensitive military details with Pakistani handlers and providing Indian SIM cards to agents at the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi.

Arman of Rajaka village was also arrested in May on charges of espionage.

With multiple arrests within months, security agencies are closely monitoring the region for cross-border espionage and terror-linked financial networks.
