Arrests Made in Punjab for Alleged Espionage


On Sunday, authorities from Amritsar Rural Police announced the arrest of two individuals suspected of espionage for Pakistan's intelligence agency. The suspects have been named as Gurpreet Singh and Sahil Masih, according to Punjab's Director General of Police, Gaurav Yadav.


Singh is believed to have maintained direct communication with operatives from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and is accused of transmitting sensitive data using pen drives, Yadav stated.


The police have identified Rana Javed as the Pakistani intelligence handler involved in this case.


Additionally, two mobile devices purportedly used for contacting the intelligence agents were confiscated during the operation.


With these latest arrests, the total number of individuals detained in Punjab on similar espionage charges has reached twelve, as reported by a local media outlet.


Earlier, on June 3, Punjab police apprehended a man in Tarn Taran district for allegedly leaking sensitive information to Pakistan's intelligence agency regarding Operation Sindoor.


At that time, Yadav indicated that the suspect, Gagandeep Singh, posed a significant threat to national security by sharing critical details about troop movements and military positions in exchange for money during India's military operations against Pakistan.
