New Delhi (19.02.2022): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday arrested its former superintendent of police (SP), Arvind Digvijay Negi, for allegedly sharing sensitive documents with an over ground worker (OGW) of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group.

Negi, who is currently posted as SP in Shimla, was arrested in connection with a case pertaining to the spread of OGWs of LeT for providing support in planning and execution of terrorist activities in the country. The case was registered by the anti-terror agency on November 6 last year.

“During investigation, the role of A D Negi, IPS, SP posted at Shimla (since repatriated from NIA) was verified and his houses were searched. It was also found that official secret documents of NIA were leaked by A D Negi to another accused person who is an OGW of LeT in the case,” the probe agency said in a statement.

In November last year, Negi’s residence in Himachal Pradesh’s Kinnaur was raided by the agency, following a tip off from the Intelligence Bureau that he may have shared secret information with a terror accused.
