Officials under scanner:

It has been found that several officials have been actively aiding espionage artists. The probe has revealed the names of at least 4 to 5 such officials and if the evidence leads up to these persons strongly, then India would tell Pakistan to withdraw such persons from the country.

The busting of the module, which was carrying out espionage activity, has led to several startling revelations.

While India is cleaning up the mess after it was found that some personnel in the armed forces too were allegedly involved, investigations would also focus largely on the role of the officials posted in various capacities in Pakistan missions.
