How ‘Master Raja’ came under scanner

Sources in the ISC said a case was registered on November 16 on the complaint of inspector P C Yadav.

Kafaitullah Khan alias Master Raja came under the scanner around one-and-a-half months ago after the Inter State Cell (ISC) of Delhi Police Crime Branch received information on anti-national activities supported by Pakistan intelligence operatives.

Sources in the ISC said a case was registered on November 16 on the complaint of inspector P C Yadav. As per the FIR, an informer told Yadav a Pakistan intelligence operative was collecting information on army and BSF deployment in Jammu and Kashmir.

In his complaint, Yadav said the Pakistan intelligence operative had a pan-Indian network of informers that included security personnel. Following surveillance, Khan and BSF head constable Abdul Rasheed’s phone numbers came to notice, said Yadav.

Sources said, “Their phones were put on surveillance and it was observed that Khan was working on the directions of the Pakistan intelligence operative.”
The sources added that Khan has three brothers and one of them is in Gujranwala in Pakistan. “Every month, Khan received Rs 40,000 to Rs 60,000 for every confidential information. Investigators are now checking his bank accounts,” said the sources.
