Adil Hussaini was arrested by the Special Cell and booked for criminal conspiracy, cheating and forgery. The police are yet to invoke espionage charges under the Official Secrets Act, as reported by HT.

Adil Hussaini’s arrest came after his brother, Akhtar Hussain Ahmed, was nabbed by the Mumbai Police earlier this month. During interrogation, he had claimed that his family, including his brother, were dead.
