AMBALA, PATHANKOT: The Ambala police have arrested a man for allegedly spying for Pakistan and providing sensitive information about the Air Force station in the area. On Monday, the police arrested a 15-year-old boy for allegedly sharing information related to national security with Pakistani terror agencies, including the ISI and Pakistan military officers, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Pathankot Daljinder Singh Dhillon said.

SSP Dhillion said the minor had been in contact with Pakistani agencies for nearly a year. “The police have arrested Sanjeev Kumar, aged 15, after receiving information that he had been supplying information related to the security of our nation to the frontal organisations of terror agencies, ISI, and Pakistan military officers”, he told the media.

Dhillion added that the accused was lured through social media and was emotionally vulnerable due to the belief that his father had been murdered, though investigations found no evidence supporting that claim.

According to the police, the teenager allegedly shared videos of sensitive locations and was in touch with gangsters in Pakistan who were running a terror module. “He fell into the trap of Pakistani agencies through social media, as he was suspicious that his father had been murdered, which affected him mentally. However, the investigation did not reveal any such evidence. He had sent videos of various locations to them and was in touch with various gangsters in Pakistan who run a terror module. He had been in contact with Pakistan’s terror organisations for almost a year,” Dhillion said. Further investigation is underway.

The Ambala police on Tuesday arrested a man for allegedly spying for Pakistan. Deputy SP Crime Virendra Kumar stated that the police had received information about a suspected individual who was providing information about the defence area.

The accused, identified as Sunil alias Sunny, a resident of Ambala, was taken into custody after a case was registered against him. During interrogation, the police seized his mobile phone, which revealed suspicious activities. The investigation revealed that Sunil had been working as a contractor at the Air Force station since 2020, handling repair work.

According to the police, Sunil was in contact with a woman who would ask for information, which he would then pass on. The analysis of his device showed that he used to send information to a neighbouring country, which is considered an enemy country. However, the police are still investigating the matter and analysing the evidence.

“The Ambala police had information that a suspected man was providing information about our defence area, specifically the Air Force. When he was interrogated, a case was registered against him. He was arrested and taken into custody. His mobile phone was seized, and a lot of suspicious things emerged from it. He has been a contractor since 2020.

“He used to handle repair work at the Air Force station. He was taking photos or providing information… He was in contact with a woman, and she used to ask for information, and he passed on some information… According to his device, he used to send information to a neighbouring country, which we can call an enemy country. But this is his version. We’ll see further because we have to analyse things ourselves…” Kumar said.

The police stated that the accused is currently on remand for four days. The investigation is in its initial stages. “The accused is Sunil alias Sunny, from Ambala. His father is retired from the Indian Railways. He is married and has two children. He’s currently on four days of remand.

On December 2, Punjab police, with assistance from central and state agencies, busted an international ISI-backed terror module linked to a grenade attack in Gurdaspur. DIG-Border Range Sandeep Goyal said the module was planning multiple strikes aimed at triggering communal tensions.

The DIG revealed that the network was led by terrorist Shahzad Bhatti, along with Zeeshan Akhtar and Amandeep Singh alias Aman Pannu. The group had already carried out a hand grenade attack on a police station in Gurdaspur and was planning another strike, which was foiled with the arrest of two operatives and the recovery of weapons.

Earlier, the Haryana police in another incident arrested Kaithal resident Devendra for allegedly passing information to the Pakistan army and ISI during the recent India-Pakistan conflict. Kaithal DSP Veerbhan said, “Intelligence information was received by the district police of Kaithal, on that basis our special detective staff arrested Devendra, son of Narwal Singh, resident of village Mastgarh Cheeka”.

As per the police, Devendra, during his interrogation, confessed that he was in contact with the Pakistan intelligence agency ISI and provided information about Operation Sindoor to the Pakistani army and the country’s agency from time to time.

“After taking him into custody, he was questioned. During that interrogation, he said that he was in contact with the Pakistan intelligence agency, ISI. He used to provide information about the dispute going on between India and Pakistan to that agency, and also information about Operation Sindoor to the Pakistani army and the ISI from time to time.
