An owner of an LPG cylinder distribution agency from the Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan was arrested on Thursday for allegedly passing on information about the Indian Army’s movement to Pakistani handlers, police said.
Sandeep Kumar, a resident of Narhar village in Jhunjhunu district, was arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan in a joint operation of the intelligence wing of Rajasthan police and military intelligence.
Kumar is said to have leaked strategic information and photographs related to the Indian Army while delivering LPG cylinders in Army premises, the police said. He was tempted for money by Pakistani handlers to leak sensitive information and photographs of the Narhar army base. The accused was detained on 12th September for interrogation, DGP (Intelligence) Umesh Mishra said in a statement.
He said the accused man’s Pakistani handlers had asked for sensitive information in July. A case has been filed against the accused, who was then arrested on Thursday.
