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 passing security-related information to a Pakistani intelligence operative. The arrests followed intelligence inputs from central agencies and involved coordination between Assam's Special Task Force and military intelligence. Preliminary investigations suggest the accused were honey-trapped and involved in espionage activities, with seized mobile phones, SIM cards, and documents. The accused are being handed over to central agencies for further investigation.
