The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested Zafar Riaz, also known as Rizvi, a resident of Kolkata, India, for allegedly passing sensitive security information to Pakistan Intelligence Officers (PIOs) as part of an anti-India terror conspiracy. Riaz, who had a Look Out Circular issued against him, was in the process of being declared a Proclaimed Offender when apprehended. He is charged under multiple laws, including the Official Secrets Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Previously convicted in a separate espionage case, Riaz has been married to a Pakistani national, and his children are also Pakistani citizens. Since 2005, he has frequently traveled between India and Pakistan, where he was allegedly recruited by PIOs with promises of financial rewards and citizenship. The NIA's investigation revealed that Riaz shared One-Time Passwords (OTPs) of Indian mobile numbers with a PIO, enabling covert communication through WhatsApp with another accused, Motiram Jat. The agency is actively pursuing leads to uncover the larger conspiracy and other individuals involved in this espionage network.
