Habib-ur-Rahman was the army's supply contractor in Pokhran and Paramjit had come in contact with him when he was posted there. According to the Delhi Police, Paramjit and Habib-ur-Rahman were leaking intel related to the army establishment, training, maps of the army's secret locations, and confidential letters. Habib-ur-Rahman was sending this information to his ISI bosses in Pakistan via WhatsApp.
Paid through 'Hawala' for leaking information
According to the police, Habib-ur-Rahman's relatives live in Sindh, Punjab (Pakistan). He went to meet them 2 years ago. He then came in contact with the ISI and when he returned to India, he started spying for them. It was Rahman who persuaded Paramjit to provide intel by luring him with money.
They were paid through 'Hawala' for providing information to Pakistan. The police also recovered multiple bank accounts in their names. Police sources say that Paramjit had received about Rs. 9,00,000 for leaking information. The police suspect that this spy network may lead to more people. They are investigating the matter in detail.
