In the year 2022, Tufail also met ISI agent Naushad Memon in Pakistan. Naushad Memon was caught from Punjab and came to know that he had given several active Indian SIM cards to an officer of Delhi -based Pak High Commission. After this, Tufail was instructed to form a WhatsApp group and run it.
Uttar Pradesh ATS is trying to find a relationship between these two accused, Naushad Memon and Tufail. The ATS believes that together they were increasing the network of ISI agents in India and carrying out anti -national activities. ATS investigation is still going on. In view of the seriousness of the matter, all the concerned agencies are keeping a close watch on forgery, espionage and terrorist activities.
Tufail’s house is in the narrow streets of Banaras
Please tell that Mohammad Tufail Ansari was arrested from Nawapur Hanuman Phatak Mohalla, situated in the narrow streets of Varanasi. He is accused that he is involved in sending sensitive information to Pakistan and anti -national activities. According to the people of his locality, Tufail was a very quiet person and no one was aware of his joining any such network.
Tufail’s neighbor told that he was always engaged in mobile. He used to focus on mobile day and night. He did not talk to anyone much. The shopkeeper, who runs a clothes shop in front of Tufail’s house, said that many outsiders used to come to meet Tufail, whose faces and activities were absolutely strangers for the locality. Often these people used to enter Tufail’s house in different ways during night and evening.
According to another neighbor, Tufail was often seen going to religious arguments and programs with Maulanas. There was always religious things in his conversation, due to which he used to be isolated in the locality. At present, the police of the local police station are stationed outside his house and there were some women inside the house, who had closed the door. The people of the locality are still unable to digest that their neighbor can go to such an extent.
