Punjab Police Foils Espionage Attempt, Arrests Two for Leaking Military Secrets

In a significant counter-espionage operation, the Punjab Police apprehended two individuals in Gurudaspur for allegedly leaking sensitive military information, thereby thwarting a potential threat to national security. On May 15 (Thursday), credible intelligence indicated that Sukhpreet Singh and Karanbir Singh were involved in sharing confidential details related to Operation Sindoor, including troop movements and key strategic locations in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir, with the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI. Acting swiftly, the Punjab Police arrested both suspects, and forensic analysis of their mobile devices confirmed the intelligence inputs. The police team also seized three mobile phones and eight live cartridges (.30 bore) from their possession.

Initial investigations reveal that the accused were in direct contact with ISI operatives and had transmitted crucial information regarding the Indian Armed Forces. An FIR has been filed under the Official Secrets Act at PS Dorangla. The investigation is ongoing, and further disclosures are anticipated as it progresses. The Punjab Police stands firmly with the Indian Army and remains steadfast in its duty to protect national interests. Any attempts to undermine the security of our armed forces will be met with resolute and immediate action.
