JAMMU: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel on charges of espionage, alleging he shared sensitive national security information with Pakistan Intelligence Officers (PIOs) since 2023.
The accused, identified as Moti Ram Jat, was apprehended following an investigation into his alleged involvement in sharing classified data. The NIA stated that Jat was “actively involved in espionage activity” and had been systematically transmitting sensitive information to Pakistani intelligence operatives.
While the NIA statement did not elaborate on the specific nature of the information shared, such cases typically involve details regarding troop movements, strategic deployments, operational plans, or other intelligence crucial to national security.
The arrest underscores ongoing efforts by Indian agencies to counter espionage attempts and safeguard classified information, particularly in sensitive regions. Further details are awaited as the NIA continues its investigation into the extent of Jat’s activities and any potential wider network.
