Srinagar, June 13: Security agencies are trying to ascertain the purpose of the visit of diplomat Madhuri Gupta, arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan, to Rajouri district, amid mounting suspicion that she was there to receive documents from a “source” but could not do so after her movements were detected by the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
Contrary to earlier reports that she had picked up a packet, the 53-year-old Gupta is understood to have failed to reach her contact from whom she had to take some documents pertaining to location of Army units.
However, sources said she could not get in touch with her contact because of heavy presence of police, paramilitary forces and other units of the Army which had gathered there in connection with an encounter that was going on after terrorists of Lashker-e-Taiba slipped in around the same time.
