New Delhi:
The Delhi Police Special Cell has arrested an ISI agent for blackmailing a lady Colonel and threatening to share her morphed photos on social media.

During interrogation, the accused disclosed that he and his aides wanted to extract confidential information for the Colonel and hence threatened her with morphed pictures.Â
Parvez claimed that he was working for ISI, Pakistan’s intelligence agency, and the confidential information was to be used by ISI operatives to destabilize the Centre.
