According to a statement issued by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA), Arun Selvarajan, a Sri Lankan National, was arrested by the agency for his involvement in the Thameem Ansari case.
The arresting authorities claimed to have recovered two passports from Selvarajan's possession; Indian and Sri Lankan.
He had allegedly gained access to certain vital Indian installations under the guise of managing events, and had then allegedly passed on information regarding these installations using internet communication tools.
Tamil Nadu intelligence on September 17, 2012 claimed to have arrested Ansari, an activist, on charges of spying at the instigation of Pakistan. He was later let go only to be charged for abusing an official of the secret police.
