Captured LeT commander Abu Jundal has given interrogators details of how Pakistan’s ISI has developed a formidable network in both Nepal and Bangladesh, with ISI operatives getting “complete support from Pakistan’s diplomats” in Dhaka and Kathmandu. Jundal got firsthand evidence of this while visiting Kathmandu in 2005 for weapons training, and then Bangladesh in 2007.
Jundal crossed over to Bangladesh via the land route and flew from Dhaka to Karachi as Indian agencies launched a massive hunt for him. Jundal claims he got help from the ISI and Pakistan high commission staffers in Dhaka, who not only provided him fake travel documents, including a passport, but even accompanied him to Dhaka airport when he left for Pakistan.
Top intelligence sources said they now had concrete evidence that Pakistani diplomatic staff in Kathmandu and Dhaka were promoting anti-India activities, including circulating fake Indian currency.
