Shimla: Himachal
Pradesh Police have arrested a former Indian Army official who was
allegedly working for Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI)
agency and providing information about vital installations of the
Indian armed forces, a police official said here Monday.
The accused, hailing from Palampur town in Kangra district, is a
retired honorary captain, police said.
"Acting on a tip off, S.S. Guleria was arrested from the
Chandimadir area Sunday night," Additional Director General of
Police I.D. Bhandari told reporters.
Chandimandir is the headquarters of the Indian Army's Western
Command, located in Chandigarh.
Bhandari said Guleria -- who retired from service last month --
was working for the ISI and was regularly getting money through
illegal ‘hawala' channels. He was arrested from his army quarters
in the Western Command which he had not yet vacated.
He was brought to Shimla for interrogation Monday afternoon.
Before his arrest, police arrested Bhagwan Dass, another
ex-serviceman from Kangra district Jan 27, who was also supplying
sensitive information to the ISI.
Amrik Singh, the prime suspect in supplying ‘hawala' money to the
ISI agents, was also in police custody. Both Dass and Guleria were
getting money from Singh.
Police suspect that Singh had given over Rs.1 crore to various ISI
agents in the past six months.
