A BSF constable was today arrested in Sri Ganganagar district of Rajasthan for allegedly smuggling of drugs and weapons at the India-Pakistan boarder.
IG (BSF) Rajasthan Frontier, B R Meghwal, said that constable Anil Bhagat has been handed over to intelligence agencies from Punjab and they would interrogate him further to ascertain if he had links across the borders and if he was also involved in sharing information of strategic importance with Pakistan.
Bhagat belongs to Uttar Pradesh and was posted at Riasingh Nagar post in Sri Ganganagar sector of BSF.
Intelligence agencies had been tracking Bhagat for some time and tapped his phone before he was arrested and handed over to the agencies from Punjab this morning.
Meghwal said that the BSF has also been keeping an eye on such elements active in the border guarding force.
"We also had some inputs Bhagat being in communication with some elements from Pakistan," said Meghwal.
Bhagat was on the radar of the agencies from Punjab in the aftermath of the recent terror attack on Pathankot airbase.
