The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed an additional chargesheet on Friday against an Indian operative of Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for allegedly raising funds for espionage activities in India, an official said.
The first supplementary chargesheet was filed against Imran Yakub Giteli, a resident of Godhra in Gujarat, under sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) before the special NIA court in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, the official added.

According to the official, all of them were involved in espionage activities by allegedly collecting sensitive and classified information relating to vital defence installations in order to threaten the integrity, security and sovereignty of India, he added.
The NIA re-registered the case in December 2019 and took over the investigation, the official added.
In June last year, the probe agency had earlier filed a chargesheet against 14 accused, including three civilians with business interests in Pakistan, he told mediapersons.
Giteli was in contact with Pakistani agents and used to meet them during his visits to Pakistan, according to the NIA official.
On the instructions of Pakistani ISI agents, he was transferring money into the accounts of Navy personnel in lieu of passing sensitive and strategic information, the official added.
Giteli was raising funds for terrorist activities in the garb of illegal cloth business, he said.
