The Punjab Police on Monday arrested two individuals for allegedly leaking sensitive military information to Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI.
Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said, "In a counter-espionage operation, the Gurdaspur police thwarted an attempt to compromise national security by apprehending two persons involved in leaking sensitive military information."
In a post on X, Yadav said, "On 15th May, 2025, credible intelligence inputs indicated that Sukhpreet Singh & Karanbir Singh were engaged in sharing classified details related to #OperationSindoor, including troop movements and key strategic locations in #Punjab, #HimachalPradesh, & #JammuAndKashmir - with #Pakistan's intelligence agency, #ISI." The police have arrested both suspects, he said.
"Forensic examination of their mobile phones has confirmed the intelligence inputs. The police team has also recovered three mobile phones and eight live cartridges (.30 bore) from their possession," he said.
Preliminary investigations indicate the accused had direct contact with ISI handlers and transmitted critical information concerning the Indian Armed Forces, the DGP added.
A case has been registered under the Official Secrets Act at the Dorangala police station in Gurdaspur. The investigation is ongoing, with the authorities expecting further disclosures.
