“During probe, Tarif admitted to sharing photographs and videos of the Sirsa airbase with Asif Baloch and Zafar, employees at the Pakistan High Commission, Delhi, through WhatsApp. Two thousand Pakistani currency notes, two mobile phones and other documents were recovered from his house. One of the mobile phones is registered in his name while the other was registered in his wife Afsana’s name.
