Arrest of fake scientist in Mumbai reveals major secret
Mumbai: Since the Pahalgam terror attacks, security agencies are on high alert and every day are revealing sensational incidents related to the national security.
From YouTubers to policemen, revelations reveal how they spied for Pakistan against India. Who would have thought that a fake scientist could have access to confidential documents of the country's premier nuclear research center, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC)?
Another sensational case has come to light in Mumbai. Police have arrested Akhtar Qutubuddin Hussaini, a man who was defrauding people by posing as a scientist. The information revealed after his arrest has raised concerns among security agencies.

Police recovered 14 maps and several documents from Hussaini, which allegedly may contain confidential nuclear information. Experts are now examining these documents to determine whether they actually contain any sensitive or confidential information.
This recovery is considered significant because the accused was misusing his government-level identity by posing as a BARC scientist. But the question remains inconclusive: how did he pilfer the documents?
At the time of his arrest, police recovered several fake passports, Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, and BARC identity cards. These identity cards listed him under different names: one listed him as Ali Raza Hussain, while the other listed him as Alexander Palmer.
This suggests that the accused had been living under multiple false identities for a long time.
Initial investigations reveal that Hussaini has made numerous international calls over the past few months. Agencies are now examining his call records to determine which countries or organizations he contacted. The initial suspicion is that he may have had connections to a foreign network, possibly linked to these sensitive documents.
This is not the first time Akhtar Hussaini has faced similar allegations. In 2004, he was deported from Dubai after posing as a scientist and claiming to possess "confidential scientific information."
Even after his deportation, he traveled to Dubai, Tehran, and other countries using a fake passport.
Investigations have revealed that Hussaini is originally from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. He sold his ancestral home in 1996 but used the same address to obtain fake documents and a passport.
His brother, Adil Hussaini, and an acquaintance, Munnazil Khan, were involved in this operation. Police suspect that Munnazil Khan and his brother, Ilyas Khan, also provided Akhtar with fake educational certificates and degrees.

Investigations have also revealed that Akhtar Hussaini is also wanted by the Meerut Police. He is accused of spreading and inciting discontent against the Uttar Pradesh government.
While his brother, Adil, was recently arrested by the Delhi Police, Akhtar falsely claimed during interrogation that his brother was dead.
