The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has summoned two individuals for questioning on Monday in connection with the arrest of CRPF assistant sub-inspector Moti Ram Jat, who was taken into custody in Delhi this week on charges of espionage.

The NIA conducted raids at three locations in Kolkata—a shop in Alipore, a travel agency in Mominpur, and a hotel in Topsia—as part of its ongoing investigation.

Moti Ram Jat, previously posted with a CRPF battalion in Pahalgam, was transferred to Delhi five days before the April 22 terror attack at the popular tourist destination in Jammu and Kashmir. He is accused of sharing classified national security information with Pakistani Intelligence Operatives (PIOs) in exchange for money.

Sources told News18 that one raid focused on the travel agency’s office, where suspicious money transfers may have occurred. Investigators believe three separate transactions might have taken place from this location, one on April 3, 2024. Due to the possible link to terror financing, the agency’s owner, Masood Alam, has been summoned for questioning on Monday. Masood has confirmed the summons.

Separately, Mohammad Wakil was brought in for questioning from Topsia by the NIA. Sources revealed that documents suspected of being shared with Pakistani operatives via WhatsApp were investigated, and Wakil was interrogated and later released.

Another individual, Md Ezaz, has also been summoned for questioning on Monday. He is believed to be linked to certain financial transactions under scrutiny.

The NIA is now focusing on uncovering the full network involved in the information exchange with Pakistani handlers as the investigation continues.
