As per the case, Mohd Rafiq of Manjakot in Rajouri was involved in illegal cross border/LoC activities and was in contact with Abdul Hameed Khan (suspected ISI agent) residing in Kotli PoK.
A case was registered under section 18 UA (P) Act 1967 read with section 3 of the Official Secrets Act 1923 against Mohd. Rafiq and the investigation revealed a well knitted conspiracy by Pakistani agents of LeT to destabilize the Government in Punjab and J&K.

The account number of Darshan Singh was provided to Rafiq by Gurpal Singh, who has a criminal background and had developed relationship with Sajid Bukhari, a Pakistani national lodged in Sangroor Jail along with Gurpal Singh.
Since Gurpal Singh was in need of money, so after his release and deportation, Sajid Bukhari cultivated Gurpal Singh and introduced him with Abdul Hameed Khan and other Pakistani handlers.
Since, Rafiq Khan was desirous to join terrorist ranks and was planning to illegally cross over through fence and shared a video of India strategic LoC locations with Abdul Hameed and in order to win his faith, Rafiq transferred Rs. 10,000 to Darshan Singh on the instructions of Abdul Hameed, so that Abdul Hameed facilitates Rafiq in illegally crossing the fence through Kanga Gali.
