The man had been identified as Sharda Shankar Kushwaha, a resident of Bara district in Nepal, is supposed to be the kingpin of the Pakistani intelligence agency in the area. He is also suspected to have links with terror organisations like Indian Mujahideen (IM),’ East Champaran Superintendent of Police Sudhir Kumar Singh said.
Altogether 21 mobile phones and several SIM cards were recovered from the alleged ISI operative, who was arrested last night, Singh said.
The NIA produced him in the court of the Judicial Magistrate SK Mishra Thursday and took him on five-day transit remand to New Delhi. Singh said, ‘Kushwaha was arrested from the border area near Raxaul while he was trying to sneak into Bihar. He was being hunted for a long time now on the charges of bringing Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) consignments to India from Pakistan, Dubai, Malaysia and other countries and pushing them into India.’
