New Delhi: Unearthing ISI's plan to set up a base here, Delhi Police has arrested an alleged agent of the Pakistani intelligence agency and claimed to have recovered sensitive military documents from him.

24-year-old Irfan Kausar, hailing from Gujranwala district of Pakistan's Punjab province, was nabbed from a cyber cafe in Bikaji Cama Place area in South Delhi yesterday when he was allegedly sending secret information about the Indian military to his mentors through the internet, police said today (September 9, 2005).

Incriminating documents about deployment and movement of military units and their weapons in the Ambala Cantonment in Punjab were seized from him, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Tajendra Luthra told reporters.

Describing Kausar as "one of the best agents" of ISI who had undergone special training for two months at the ISI camp in Lahore, Luthra said the agency had planned to use him as a "sleeper agent" in Delhi.

He had already obtained a fake voter identity card in the name of Ashok Kumar and was planning to marry here so that he could pass off as a resident, police said.

Kausar had created an e-mail address in the name of arjun_kumar009@yahoo.com on which he used to send the messages besides receiving directions, police sources said.

Luthra said his contacts in India were being traced but it was unlikely that any Army personnel were involved.

A graduate of Lahore University and the son of a retired Pakistan Navy officer, he had arrived in Delhi on August 13 through Nepal.
