New Delhi: A passenger at the Indira Gandhi International airport at Delhi on Friday claimed to be an ISI agent. He said, ” Hello, I am an ISI agent. But I don’t wish to continue any further and want to remain in India.” The passenger had touched down at Delhi from Dubai.

Muhammad Ahmad Sheikh Muhammad Rafiq, a citizen of Pakistan approached a help desk at the airport and told an official at the counter that he wanted to share information about Pakistan’s intelligence agency, Inter-Service Intelligence- ISI. The eyes of the officials opened wide after hearing this and they immediately informed the security officials. They then detained the Pakistani national and informed intelligence about it.

38-year-old Rafiq had arrived in Delhi by Air India’s flight from Dubai and was further booked for Kathmandu. However, he did not take the next flight and decided to break journey and walked up to the help-desk counter at the airport.

During questioning, Rafiq said he was connected with the ISI but had decided to call it a day and remain in India, officials said.

He was whisked away to an undisclosed destination where he was being questioned by officials from various central intelligence agencies, they said, adding his claims were being verified.
