Pakistani Intelligence Used Funds Through Unsuspecting Citizens
Imagine a spy, Moti Ram Jat, who shared secret info with Pakistan.
Instead of sending money directly, the spies tricked regular people into putting money in his bank account.
These people thought they were just doing normal business, like travel bookings or exchanging money.
The spies paid Jat monthly, hiding the money trail.
The police are now investigating how the spies used this secret money system, searching businesses, and finding evidence like computers to understand this trick.
