Madhuri Gupta, 53, the Indian Diplomat who was posted in the Indian High Commission at Islamabad was arrested in the city on charges of spying for Pakistan may have turned Muslim six years ago according to reports.
The suspicion comes from the fact that her family has extremely close ties with a Muslim family from Lucknow and is greatly inspired by the religion.According to a source, "Her kin has very close relations with a well-known Muslim family of Ashiq Hussain Jafri in Lucknow. Ms Gupta spent her early life in Lucknow with Jafri's family where she enthused (sic) Islamic values.”
The lady was seen during Ramzan wearing the kind of rings and bangles that people from the Muslim Shia community wear. Another source said, "She was really inspired by the teachings of Islam, but was scared to announce her new faith."
Madhuri even said, "I am fasting and I have great respect for Islam."
All this while, arrested Pakistani mole Madhuri Gupta has claimed that she gave away India's secrets out of spite.
But Headlines Today has learnt, that is far from the truth.
Madhuri, in fact, was pain-stakingly cultivated as a spy by Pakistan's intelligence agency. And the entire spy operation was supervised by the chief of Pakistan's Intelligence Bureau himself.
Sources have told Headlines Today that Pakistan took great pains to cultivate Madhuri as spy.
Top officials of Pakistan's Intelligence Bureau were themselves directly involved in this subterfuge.
Among Madhuri's handlers was Pakistan's intelligence chief, Javed Noor himself.
In fact, such was Madhuri's significance in Pakistan's spying scheme, that the Pak IB chief met her himself.
Noor is no ordinary man. In addition to being Pakistan's top intelligence officer, he is also believed to be a trusted lieutenant of the Pak Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
And then, there were the rewards. In lieu of selling her country's secrets, Madhuri was given all material comforts.
In spite of what the shamed diplomat might say now, she also received handsome sums of money.
Seeing the well-entrenched network which had been put in place by the Pakistan intelligence agencies, only reinforces fears that they may have extracted extensive information from Gupta. Something that can cause unthinkabale damage to India's interests and operations in the region.
