An FIR was registered against Gyanbir Singh and Shamsher Singh Shera and they were investigated under sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Official Secrets Act”, DSP Bal said.

“He confessed to providing them with information about the movement of our BSF forces and also marked some soft spots from where infiltration can be done without any difficulty”, Bal informed.
