The Pakistan national was arrested in Roorkee on January 25, 2010 during the Mahakumbh under Official Secrets Act, Foreigners Act and Passport Act.
Setting aside the acquittal of a Pakistani national of the charge of spying in India, the Uttarakhand High Court today held him guilty and ordered his arrest.
The Pakistani national had been acquitted by a sessions court and had been residing in Roorkee.
He could not go back to Pakistan as he did not have the required travel documents, including a passport.
Hearing a petition by the state government challenging his acquittal by the sessions court, Justice Ravindra Maithani said there is enough evidence against Pakistani national Abid Ali alias Asad Ali alias Ajit Singh, a resident of Lahore, for espionage in India.
