Pakistani ISI Spy IAF Airman Ranjith K K
BATHINDA: The Pakistani spy arrested from Bhisiana Air Force station, near Bathinda, on December 28 by the Delhi police had told his interrogators that there was a plan to target Pathankot air base, said intelligence sources. However, the attack was launched before security agencies could act on this.
Sources said Pathankot had figured in the conversations between dismissed IAF airman Ranjith K K, caught for passing secret information about defence installations to Pakistan's ISI, and his woman handler from Pakistan with whom he had come in contact with on a social networking site. Sources also said Ranjith had visited the Pathankot Air Force station.
Sources said military intelligence had questioned some of the former colleagues of Ranjith to establish whether he had ever shared any details of his activities with them or if other Air Force personnel were aware of his intentions.
