Serious Allegations Against IAF Officer

According to the charge sheet filed by the Delhi police, the officer not only disclosed a war strategy but also shared sensitive details related to a secret drone unit of the Indian Air Force. This included information about the unit's number, organizational structure, drone testing, capabilities, and targeting systems for weaponry.

Allegations of Malware Installation on Subordinate Devices

The charge sheet reveals another alarming detail. It states that the suspected Pakistani agent sent malware and spyware applications to the officer, which could potentially extract sensitive information from mobile and electronic devices.

It is alleged that the Wing Commander attempted to install spyware on the devices of five subordinates, raising concerns about unauthorized access to confidential communications and critical information of other military officials.

Officer Detained with iPhone at Work

This case came to light during the Indian Air Force's intelligence surveillance. On April 1, the officer was stopped for bringing a smartphone to the office, leading to an investigation that uncovered suspicious activities.

Following a complaint from the Indian Air Force, the Delhi police arrested the Wing Commander on May 30, 2026, under the Official Secrets Act. The charge sheet was submitted to the court on July 30.

Ongoing Investigations into Other Contacts

Investigative agencies are now working to determine the intended use of the confidential information shared by the officer and to identify any other individuals involved in this network.
