Following a complaint from the IAF, a serving officer has been arrested for allegedly sharing details regarding the military after being honey-trapped by a Pakistani intelligence operative through social media.
A case was registered under provisions of the Official Secrets Act against the officer, and arrested on May 30. The chargesheet was filed before the competent court on July 30 after completion of the investigation, police said in a statement.
The investigation is linked to a suspected espionage network in which the accused officer was allegedly contacted by a woman who interacted with him through video calls and other digital platforms, said the source.
"The woman is suspected to have been operating on behalf of intelligence handlers based in Pakistan", they said.
