Dinesh Chandar was arrested by the members of the Police Special Branch. They also recovered an Indian identity card and maps of villages and cities in Pakistan.
Special Branch’s prosecution cell has registered a case against the alleged spy. He is currently being held at the Mithadar police station.
In late February, Hyderabad police claimed to have arrested an Indian agent spying on the Pakistani army’s bases and troop movement and conveying that information to the Indian army.
DSP Yaqoob Jat had said that the alleged spy had been living in Pakistan under the alias of Inayatullah Mir, who hailed from Azad Kashmir. However, his real name turned out to be Owais Saleem, who belonged to Indian-occupied Kashmir.

Hang him wheather he is guilty or not. He should be Guilty otherwise he wouldnt have maps of Pakistani VILLAGES for CITIES we can understand but why VILLAGES.
Thank god his name is Owais Saleem, and not, say Omkar Sharma.In that case the authority would have burnt him alive.However it's nice to know that a Kashmiri is spying for India.No praise is enough for this brave son of India.Pray for his safe treatment and return.
@John C: Your reply confirmed by notion that he is there to party with LeT.
Read the Indian press, they are nabbing LeT operatives almost every day.
The last thing PAK wants to admit is that they are cracking down on the LeT and their fellow men, but I sense that is happening lately.
all the people talkng about satellites should watch the movie BEHIND ENEMY LINES - II.....
@WoW: "However, his real name turned out to be Owais Saleem, who belonged to Indian-occupied Kashmir."
Try to read the whole article next time. Thanks
@Americano: What has france got to do with this article... or for that matter google... lol...
@John B: *I have a gut feeling that you are completely wrong....*
@BruteForce: When India has got a variety of satellites to spy from into Pakistan, why would it need them?
Because there is no substitute for ground intelligence or there wont be a vast network of CIA agents in Pakistan when they can watch every square foot and intercept all digital communications thru their advanced network of satellites. Sometimes you are commenting for the sake of comment.
@AliRizvi:
They are very there on top of you !
@Singh:
Awww... if it was the other way round... u will be jumping up and down with joy... Koi baat nahin... we will treat him humanely unlike you guys...
@BruteForce: You should ask your spy boss why you need humans on the ground. Isreal has state of the art technology and yet they have moles on the ground to creat havoc....
Your "variety" of satellites wont work...
Army base and troop movements info:-Kind of old school, is it not.?
Everyone in the world knows where PAK army bases are and Indians will be the first know about PAK troop movements. In case people have forgotten, Indians can see Karachi from Mumbai.
I have a gut feeling that this guy is there in PAK to party with LeT, and PAK police is either falling into the old trap or hiding something.
Have the Pakistan intelligence community heard of Google maps? I travel the world, always armed with maps and a camera - glad that France is a little more hospitable than Pak.
@BruteForce - It appears this Indian was a ground spy so he could fuel terrorism . . .no wonder there are so many target shootings and blasts in various cities of Pakistan.
The 'alleged' spy is from Kashmir and the police has labeled him 'a Indian spy'. So why is Pakistan fighing for Kashmir when the police have already certified that Kashmir is part of India?
Don't need spy satellite just Google it any maps of villages and cities in Pakistan. Flimsy accusation.
where are indians now?
@BruteForce: variety of satellites? lol
I will quit commenting here, if this news is true.
Maps of villages and cities in Pakistan? Why do you need a spy for that? (The army base and troop movement guy sounds more genuine btw).
Aman ki Asha!
If found guilty- should be executed straight away
