NIA likely to probe Pakistani espionage ring in Madhya Pradesh

NEW DELHI: The Centre is likely to hand over to the NIA the probe into the busting of an alleged Pakistani espionage ring in Madhya Pradesh in which 11people, including a 'member' of the BJP's youth wing, have been arrested.

A senior official said the home ministry is contemplating handing over to the NIA the probe into the MP spy ring, which had allegedly links with Pakistan’s spy agency ISI.

“A decision will be taken very soon,” the official said. Those held were allegedly running call centres using Chinese equipment and SIM cards that helped ISI to spy on India's military operations.
