Two officials of Pakistan High Commission had rejected several visa applications of Javed Mozawala, nailed for spying for the neighboring country, to force him to conduct recce of vital locations for over two years. A senior police official said, if the visa agent Javed Abdul Gafoor Mozawala refused to the officials' demands, he would have lost his only source of income. Mozawala, a resident of Mazgaon in Mumbai, was arrested on December 8 for spying for Pakistan and has been booked under the Official Secrets Act. Joint Police Commissioner (Crime) Himanshu Roy told media persons that at least for the last four years, Mozawala had been into the visa facilitating job. He had been to Pakistan High Commission on several occasions as part of his job. The officials also added that the two officials wanted him to conduct recce of vital locations in Maharashtra. Initially, Mozawala was reluctant but then the two officials started rejecting several visa applications from Mozawala. Since visa facilitating work was his only source of income and he did not want to lose this job, Mozawala agreed for it and passed on the information to the two officials. Roy also informed that for over two years, Mozawala conducted recce of several locations including Western Naval Command in Mumbai, a Navy facility in Lonavla (in Pune district), Bandra Worli Sea Link and Koyna dam in Satara district.
