However, it is not the trail that is worrying our intelligence agencies, but the reason provided by Interpol in Tehran. According to Interpol, the 57-year-old Iranian is wanted 'for not paying allowance to his wife back home'. Is there more to the search than what meets the eye?
ALERTED by the Interpol in Tehran, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) are on the hunt for a 57-year-old Iranian national in the city.
Lame charge?
The hunt is not an issue for the intelligence agencies, it is the reason for the hunt that has baffled them.
Accused Bashir Idris (name changed) has been charged "for not paying allowance to his wife".
In its letter dated July 24, 2008 to the city-based Special Inspector General of Police (SCRB) the CBI has asked for "discreet verifications". MiD DAY has exclusive access to the correspondence and photograph of the person whom the Interpol is looking for.
It is equally ironical that the letter from SCRB to the commissioner of police is marked as "Top Secret". The Interpol has also provided the picture of Idris and the cell number he is using.
RAW and IB operatives are asking if it is wise to involve them and the CBI for such a small crime.

The discreet nature of investigations being carried out on this individual gains significance in the backdrop of Middle East tensions.
