Man who blew his ISI cover was seeking asylum in India

The man who blew his own cover at the Delhi airport by calling himself an ISI agent is actually a bookie. He wanted asylum in India and hence he staged this drama. Ahmed Mohamamd alias Rafique had landed in Delhi from Dubai and told authorities that he was an ISI agent. He said that he wanted to call it a day and hence was blowing his own cover.

After almost 24 hours of investigation, the Intelligence Bureau has found that he wanted to settle in India and hence had cooked up this story. The IB officer also said that he was a cloth merchant in 2015 and later on became a bookie.

The 38 year old man arrived from Dubai to Delhi and was to take a connecting flight to Kathmandu. However he decided to walk up to the counter and tell the authorities that he was an ISI man.

Officials who have questioned him say that he has illusions and often talks rubbish. He is under medication for neurological problems as he had an accident seven years back. On him the agencies found a Pakistani passport - KF 088779. His date of birth mentioned is July 9, 1978 and his residence is in Gulshan Colony of Faisalabad.

Currently in the custody of the Intelligence Bureau's counter-espionage group, a decision on whether to deport him to Pakistan or not will be taken on Monday. It is a tricky situation, an IB officer said. He has not violated any law. He had a valid passport and visa and is not wanted for any crime in India.

After several rounds of questioning, the agencies have not found anything suspicious about him. He basically wanted asylum in India and hence had cooked up the story, officials also said.
