Yadav said the 41-year-old man was being produced before the concerned court in Jammu and Kashmir for seeking his transit remand for bringing him to Delhi for further interrogation.

Earlier, Delhi Police arrested Border Security Force (BSF) head constable Abdul Rasheed and 44-year-old library assistant Kafaitullah Khan alias Master Raja for obtaining secret information related to India's national security and sharing it with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

Khan was arrested on November 26 from New Delhi railway station while Rasheed was held from Rajouri on his revelation.

Khan is also a resident of Rajouri district, while Rasheed was posted with the BSF intelligence wing in the same district.

Khan was allegedly working for ISI on pretext of monetary benefits.
