Police have arrested an Indian citizen who has reportedly been living in Hyderabad since 11 years as a Pakistani citizen.
Zahoor Muhammad, son of Fateh Muhammad, was arrested by local police and officials of spy agencies. Copies of his Indian passport and a Pakistani computerised national identity card (CNIC) were recovered, which both identify him as Zahoor Muhammad.
The address mentioned on his Indian passport is from Jaipur, India, while his Pakistani CNIC was issued in Hyderabad. Various pieces of paper have been recovered from his possession, bearing telephone numbers, some of them noted down in Hindi.
According to police sources, Zahoor first came to Pakistan in 1988. He got married here and went back to India. He then came to Pakistan again in December 2000 but went missing for a while.
Police sources said Muhammad denied his involvement with any Indian intelligence agency.

@ those people who do not know the difference between an Afghan and the currency called Afghani. The people of Afghanistan are called Afghans not Afghanis or Afghanistanis.
Pakistan was turned into Grand Central Terror Station in the early 80s by Zia ul Haq and ever since that time it has become a cesspool, which exports terrorism and political intrigue in India and Afghanistan. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones and perhaps looking inward would be a solution to the problems that plague Pakistan. I am tired of everyone in Pakistan kicking the can down the road and finding scapegoats to deflect blame. For once, somebody in the Pakistani political circle should have the cajones to call a spade a spade and admit that Pakistan is a dysfunctional country. Kick out the damn Arabs and other jihadists and close their madrasas that teach intolerance. Stop taking Arab money and naming stadiums and mosques after tyrants and despots from the Arab world. Find your own heroes, namely south Asian heroes not Arab or Afghan heroes.
"O the horror"
