Pak spy had nine lives - all Indian

LUCKNOW: With at least nine documents certifying the identity of Pak spy as an Indian, Sayyed Amir Ali has emerged as the most "grounded" spy to have been arrested anywhere in India. Intelligence agencies believe that Amir's this very characteristic certifies that he was on a mission more serious and dangerous than mere spying. Hence, the sleuths are now preparing to gather all the information extracted from Amir and analyse it from a different perspective.
Senior officers say that the amount of time, money, manpower spent and risk taken to procure the documents that Amir had, was far more than what is usually spent on persons engaged in spying."Which is why we don't remember to have rounded up a single spy who had so many and valid documents to back his identity. He has to be at something much more than what we know," said a top IPS officer talking to TOI.
The closest that the sleuths can presently think of is the possibility of him to be used as a reliable hand to trigger off terror strike during the Commonwealth Games in India. "It is possible that he himself might not be aware of what was there in store for him in future and the plan may have been in the knowledge of his select few superiors," said one of the officers who interrogated Amir Ali after his arrest from the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in Delhi, a week ago.
Agencies are now focussing on the Commonwealth Games angle, as in his last interrogation session, Amir is believed to have revealed the details of his next mission -- to gather specifics of public places and civic utilities in Delhi which could be targeted during the Games to yield maximum possible results. "Commonwealth Games will have a few thousand foreign nationals as participants and many times more the count as those who would fly down to watch the events," said the officer.
Since the investigations into the Amir case are being conducted by the special cell (SC) of the Delhi Police (DP) and sleuths from a spectrum of intelligence agencies, senior police officers in Uttar Pradesh are unwilling to comment on the issue. Off the record, however, quite a few of them confirmed that the Amir case was being screened all over again after the latest revelation that Amir was to gather specifics of Delhi.
