Overview

  • The detainee was identified as Jivan Khan, 30, of Sankada, who had previously worked at a restaurant inside the military area.
  • Military Intelligence stopped him at the Army station gate on August 19 as he tried to regain entry, examined his phone for suspicious activity, and handed him to Kotwali police that night.
  • Officials said he acknowledged having relatives in Pakistan during preliminary questioning.
  • He is expected to be produced before the Joint Interrogation Centre for questioning by multiple security agencies.
  • Authorities say this is the fourth suspected spy case in Jaisalmer this month, following the August 13 arrest of DRDO guest house manager Mahendra Prasad for allegedly sharing movement details of scientists and Army officers with Pakistani intelligence.
