Assam Police Arrest Two for Alleged Espionage Linked to Pakistan Intelligence
Assam Police arrested two individuals, including a retired army jawan and a Bihar resident, for allegedly sharing sensitive security information with a Pakistani intelligence operative. The arrests followed inputs from central agencies and involved the Special Task Force acting on intelligence from Gajraj MI, Tezpur. Authorities seized mobile phones, SIM cards, and incriminating documents during the operation. Preliminary investigations suggest the accused may have been honey-trapped, and further inquiry is ongoing under registered cases.
