Three Lankan spies Chargesheeted in India

India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a preliminary chargesheet against three Sri Lankan nationals, who were arrested over alleged espionage attempt, in Chennai city court on Thursday, the New Indian Express reported.

Filing the charge-sheet against Zaire Hussein, Siva Balan and Mohammed Saleem, the NIA submitted that investigations are still pending against six other accused, including two Pakistan’s embassy officials in Colombo.

The alleged espionage attempt was busted in April when the ‘Q’ Branch of the Tamil Nadu police arrested Zahir Hussain from Triplicane in Chennai after specific alerts from the intelligence agency of a foreign country.
