Former operatives of the Indian Special Forces involved in suspicious activities in Zimbabwe were arrested along with colleagues.
Sidhu Sarup Singh — a former Indian Special Forces unit officer based in Zimbabwe, along with some other Indians, was arrested by the Zimbabwe Central Intelligence Organization for suspicious activities.
These soldiers were sent by the Indian government for employment but actually, they were running the ‘intelligence network’ and were involved in highly secretive activities in neighboring countries.
These people entered Zimbabwe from Mozambique under the guise of ‘investors’ on forged documents to harm Chinese diplomatic interests in the country.
The arrest was made during a sting operation at an upscale restaurant in Harare where Singh was found in the company of unknown persons.
The unit involved was previously active in Mozambique's war-torn region of Cabo Delgado, where it was involved in fighting insurgents.
Singh misrepresented himself as an investor and even met with President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Later, after an investigation into suspicion, it was revealed that he was involved in suspicious activities.
CIO insiders disclosed to New Zimbabwe: “Singh is currently detained at Borrowdale Police Station. They could potentially be charged with a crime or, in more favorable circumstances, deported.”
Singh's daughter is among the 100 Indians who were trafficked to Zimbabwe.
News Mumbai reported allegedly, the former Indian Special Forces unit used the vehicles marked "Indian Special Forces".
News Mumbai said NV Group Chairman Ashok Jain was allegedly found to be personally connected to a former Indian forces unit.
