Under the fake identity of a BARC scientist, he was secretly involved in smuggling the country's security-related information. Last week, Mumbai police arrested a person named Akhtar Husseini. Akhtar used a fake identity claiming to work at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. More explosive information about that incident has reached the police. According to media sources, crores of rupees in foreign funding reached the accused for smuggling the country's nuclear-related information.
When Akhtar Husseini was arrested by Mumbai police, more than 10 maps and nuclear weapons-related information were seized from him. Along with that, fake passport, Aadhaar and PAN card, and a fake BARC ID were found. According to police sources, identity documents in various names have been found for Akhtar Husseini, a resident of Jamshedpur in Jharkhand. Somewhere the name is Ali Raja Husseini, somewhere the name is Alexander Palmer. Akhtar's brother Adil Husseini has also been arrested in Delhi.
Decades of selling information
Mumbai police's Anti-Crime Branch has informed that foreign funding has been coming to the Husseini brothers since 1995. Lakhs of rupees were given until year 2000. Afterwards, the funding suddenly increased. Police claim that virtually crores of rupees have entered as funding to the Husseini brothers over all these years. Police have said this money was given in exchange for smuggling some blueprints of BARC and designs of some nuclear reactors.
Suspicious transaction
An account in Akhtar Husseini's name has been traced, where police have seen suspicious transactions. Investigators are currently trying to get all information about bank transactions so that more information can be found by following the money trail. Investigators suspect that these two people have also gone to Pakistan and will come under the ISI's payroll.
Police have said that in 1996, the two brothers had sold their ancestral home in Jharkhand. Even after selling the house, these Husseini brothers had made fake passports in fake names using the address of the sold house.
