CID Intelligence of Rajasthan Police has exposed a big funding network linked to Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI and arrested its alleged funding agent. The investigating agency claims that the accused used to deliver the money sent by ISI to the people doing spies in India.

CID Intelligence ADG Prafulla Kumar said that this action was taken on the basis of important clues revealed during the investigation of an espionage case registered in January 2026. In that case, Jhabra Ram, resident of Jaisalmer, and Sumit Kumar, posted as MTS at Dibrugarh Air Force Station in Assam, were arrested. Both of them are accused of passing confidential information related to the Indian Army to the handlers of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI.

After this, CID (Intelligence) interrogated Rafiq, in which many important revelations were made.
