Rajasthan: 3 people sentenced to seven years rigorous imprisonment for ‘spying’

On Saturday, a Jaipur court sentenced three people to seven years in prison for spying on the Indian Army and passing sensitive information to Pakistani intelligence agencies.

Saddiq Khan, Bariyam Khan, and Haji Khan were arrested in February 2017 for gathering and transmitting sensitive information of strategic importance to Pakistan.

“On February 2, 2017, Saddiq Khan, Bariyam Khan, and Haji Khan were arrested on the charge of collecting confidential information of strategic importance while staying in the border district of Jaisalmer and making it available to intelligence agencies based in Pakistan,” said Mr S Sengathir, Additional Director General of Police (ADG) Intelligence.

He also stated that the chargesheet was presented to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Jaipur Metropolitan First Court, following the investigation against all three accused in both cases.

The prosecution was represented by Public Prosecutor Rajesh Meena in both cases.
“Following the trial on Saturday, all three were sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for 7-7 years under Section 3 of the Official Secrets Act, 1923 and Section 120B of the Indian Penal Code,” ADG Sengathir said.
