On May 8, a Sri Lankan national, Zakir Hussain who was earlier arrested on April 29 and suspected to be an agent of an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) operative, was remanded in judicial custody till May 13, 2014 by a magistrate court in Chennai after being in Police custody for three days, according to The Hindu. Business Standard reports that, names of two "officials" working in the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo have been included in an First Information Report (FIR) filed against Hussain, Police sources said on May 8. The names of the officials identified as Siddiq and Sha were included following the confession by Hussain. A senior Police official stated, "the offence is waging war against India. It is true that their names are there on the FIR. There is absolutely no doubt that the two officials had a role." Further, investigators stated Hussain had been tailing US consulate officials and looking for unoccupied buildings in the vicinity, probably for an attack, The Times of India reports on May 9. Police said he confessed to have been noting down the registration numbers of some US consulate officials and tracking their movements. "He said he had taken pictures of the consulate and e-mailed them to the Pakistan high commission officials in Colombo for which he was paid INR 20,000 as initial payment. Since the photographs were not of high resolution, he was assigned to shoot again," an officer said. "He was also updating the Pakistan diplomats on some other activities in the city." Police have also found that Hussain was earlier arrested in Trichy in a fake passport case.
