Ex-Army Man Held in Punjab for Spying!

Punjab : In a startling revelation from Punjab, a former Indian Army soldier has been arrested for allegedly spying for Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI. The accused was already lodged in jail in connection with a drug trafficking case, but fresh charges have now been slapped for espionage and breach of national security.

According to Punjab Police, the ex-serviceman had been secretly passing classified military information to handlers across the border. These included details related to Indian Army movements, sensitive locations, and internal communication patterns. The information is believed to have been used for anti-India activities by the Pakistani agency.

The accused, whose identity has not been disclosed yet due to the sensitivity of the case, allegedly stayed in touch with ISI operatives through encrypted platforms and even received money through hawala and other illegal channels in exchange for the information.

Punjab Police and Military Intelligence jointly conducted the investigation, leading to the shocking discovery. “He misused his position and past Army connections to collect sensitive data. Despite being caught earlier in a drug smuggling operation, he continued to aid enemy forces,” said a senior intelligence official.

Sources reveal that during routine interrogation inside the jail, certain inconsistencies in his statements raised red flags. This prompted a deeper probe, during which evidence was recovered confirming his link to Pakistan’s ISI.

The arrest has sent shockwaves through the security establishment, raising concerns about internal security breaches from within the armed forces. Authorities are now investigating whether more individuals are part of this network and how deep the espionage ring goes.

The former soldier will now be booked under the Official Secrets Act and relevant sections of the IPC, and further questioning is underway to trace his handlers and decode the full scope of damage.
