10 years of rigorous imprisonment has been given to a Pakistani and his two Indian associates by a local court on charge\u00a0of spying for the neighbouring country with the\u00a0collective fine of Rs 20,000 on the trio.<\/p>\n
The Pakistani spy, identified as Imran Qureshi from Karachi, had rented a house in Mangalwara area and was sending secret information through internet and other means to Pakistan. Based on a tip-off, the local police arrested him in January 2008, the prosecution said.<\/p>\n
Though Imran tried to mislead the police initially, police carried out a search at his house and found a lot of objectionable documents from his possession. He was later taken into custody.<\/p>\n
Police later interrogated him, following which he revealed the names of Sagar-based Iqbal Qureshi and Akthar Baig. Iqbal and Akthar too were arrested by the police and produced in the court for trial.<\/p>\n
Imran was a resident of Kulsum Height, Gulshan Iqbal area of Karachi (Pakistan), according to the prosecution.<\/p>\n
The sentence was awarded by Additional Session Judge, P K Dwivedi under Passport Act’s section three, sections 467, 468 and 120B of the IPC and Section three of the Official Secrets Act.<\/p>\n
