Rajasthan Police Arrest ISI Funding Agent Linked to Espionage Network
Rajasthan Police's CID Intelligence wing arrested Rafiq Chaand Sheikh, a Maharashtra native, on June 30 for allegedly acting as a funding agent for Pakistan's ISI over four years. Sheikh reportedly channeled money to individuals involved in espionage, including two suspects arrested earlier in 2026 from Jaisalmer and Assam. Investigations revealed Sheikh operated multiple bank accounts and communicated with handlers via social media. Authorities are interrogating him and expanding the probe to uncover the full network and other accomplices.
