In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s retaliatory Operation Sindoor targeting terror bases in Pakistan, Indian authorities have intensified efforts to dismantle espionage networks. One such breakthrough came with the arrest of 34-year-old Kasim from Rajasthan’s Mewat, who is accused of aiding Pakistan’s intelligence agency by providing Indian SIM cards.

Kasim was tracked after a YouTube video surfaced on the ‘Rehbar-e-Mewat’ channel. In the clip, he’s seen telling a Pakistani anchor, “It feels like home here,” referring to Pakistan. The clip raised red flags and prompted deeper investigation by security agencies.

Kasim had travelled to Pakistan twice — once in August 2024 and again in March 2025 — staying a total of around 90 days. Officials believe he met with ISI operatives during these visits. Further digging revealed that his elder brother Hasin, aged 42, was also allegedly involved.

Hasin was arrested from Deeg district, Rajasthan. Police claim he had visited Pakistan about 15 years ago and maintained contact with ISI for the past 4–5 years. He is accused of sending a SIM card in his name to Pakistan via Kasim, which was later used for espionage. He also allegedly sent photos of Indian military installations and received payments.

Authorities say Hasin provided OTPs to activate WhatsApp accounts for Pakistani handlers and even facilitated visa arrangements for family members using ISI support.
