LAHORE, Dec 24: Law-enforcement agencies claimed on Wednesday night to have arrested a man believed to be an Indian spy and found fake identity cards and other material in his possession.
The suspect, identified as Satish Anand Shukla, is believed to have been involved in Wednesday’s bomb blast in the Bahawalpur House here.
