In a major development, the bail application of Pakistani ISI agent Asif Ali, accused of passing sensitive information from Balasore Integrated Test Range (ITR), to Pakistan, has been rejected by the JMFC City Court on Friday.

Asif Ali, who was previously in Meerut as an undertrial prisoner, was produced before the court after the case proceedings concluded. Following the rejection of his bail plea, he has now been transferred to BalasoreJail.

According to sources, Asif Ali was linked to Ishwara Behera, who was arrested in 2015 in a sedition case and is serving a life sentence.
