BSF personnel sent to 7 days custody

Rasheed, who was posted as a head constable at BSF head quarters, intelligence wing at Jammu, was produced before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sanjay Khangwal by the crime branch of Delhi Police which sought his custodial interrogation for unearthing the entire conspiracy. 

Seeking seven days police custody of Rasheed, the police alleged that he was involved in spying activities and several incriminating documents have been recovered from his house. 

The police said he was required to be taken to various places in Jammu and Kashmir, including Rajouri district, and questioned for identification of his associates. “Rasheed was working at the intelligence unit of BSF head quarters at Jammu where each and every document was secret in nature and he was supplying the documents to his associates,” the police said. 

The court said that the matter pertains to national security. As soon as the proceedings commenced, the judge asked Rasheed to take the cover off his face. Besides Rasheed, Kafaitullah Khan alias Master Raja (44), a resident of Rajouri district in Jammu and Kashmir, was intercepted and arrested in connection with the case.
