We also learnt that he had received Rs 40,000 cash from an unidentified person sometime ago for sharing that information,” he said.Following an investigation, the ATS arrested Gohil and registered an FIR against him and the Pakistani agent under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 61 (criminal conspiracy) and 148 (waging war against the government), added the officer.STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS ADEnd of Article
