In a significant counter-espionage operation, eight individuals—including a YouTuber, a student, and a security guard—were arrested across Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh for allegedly spying for Pakistan. The arrests followed a joint operation by central and state intelligence agencies, uncovering a network involved in leaking sensitive information to Pakistani handlers. Authorities seized electronic devices and documents during the raids. The suspects are accused of transmitting classified data related to military installations and movements. Investigations revealed that some individuals were in contact with Pakistani operatives through social media platforms.
