The matter has sparked a strong political reaction. Union Minister, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, addressing the media on Thursday, said, “I have come to know through media reports that the
former personal assistant of ex-minister Saleh Mohammad has been detained on charges of espionage. This is undoubtedly a matter of serious concern. A thorough investigation will be
conducted, and all linked sources will be examined. Anyone compromising national security must face strict consequences.” Shakur Khan, a resident of Jaisalmer, previously served as the
personal secretary to Congress leader and former minister Saleh Mohammad, a prominent political figure in the region, in 2008. Preliminary investigations have revealed that Shakur Khan had
allegedly visited Pakistan at least seven times in recent years. These frequent visits and his suspicious behaviour reportedly raised red flags for intelligence agencies, leading to his
detention. The case has brought the spotlight back on issues of internal security and the vulnerability of sensitive government posts. Further developments are awaited as interrogation
continues.
