Arrest of Chinese spy who ran a hotel in Gurugram sparks verification drive in Gurugram
The arrest of an alleged Chinese spy by BSF in West Bengal and his disclosure of having run a hotel in Gurugram for over one and half years has brought Gurugram police under scanner.
Having drawn flak for failure of its intelligence and norms
to keep a check on all guest houses, hotels and foreigners, the police have now
started a verification drive.
“We have post lockdown now launched a verification drive at
hotels and guest houses about people residing there or their owners. We are
tracking those who have not got police verification. PG owners too have been
asked to get all details of inmates and get them verified under tenant
verification,” said a senior police official.
The accused identified as Han Junwei (36) is an alleged
Chinese spy who was nabbed from West Bengal by BSF.
He had been running a hotel in Gurugram’s DLF phase-3 using
fake Aadhar card. He was also residing in a posh area of Gurugram.
During interrogation by BSF, he revealed that he had visited
India four times before. He visited Hyderabad in 2010 and also Delhi and
Gurugram thrice after 2019.
He claimed to be running a hotel in Gurugram named ‘Star
Spring’ in DLF phase-3 area. Some of the staffers in this hotel are from China
while the rest are Indians.
The hotel owner, Jaiveer Lohia, resident of Nathupur
village, also confirmed that the accused had taken his hotel on lease in
October 2019.
As per the lease papers, the 10 years lease was finalized in
Rs 15 lakh per month rent and Rs 5,68,000 as charged of stamp duty by Tehsil
Wazirabad.
The lease was finalised between M/s Hua Tong Behtar Vishwa
Technology private limited, Hyderabad and Jaiveer Lohia in which Junwei Han and
Pottelli Prashant Kumar were shown directors of the firm.
He also reportedly revealed that a few days ago his business
partner was caught by ATS Lucknow which also lodged a complaint against him.
Due to the case registered against him, he did not get an
Indian visa in China and he got (a) visa from Bangladesh and Nepal to come to
India.
Parul Lohia, one of hotel owners, said that he was regular
in rent payment and posed as he was an Indian and never gave a reason to
suspect him.
“If there was anything fishy, we would have never given him
our hotel,” said Lohia.
The authorities also suspect that accused may have got his
fake Aadhar from Gurugram only and investigation is on.
