A civilian staffer at an Indian Air Force station in Dibrugarh has been arrested for allegedly spying for Pakistani intelligence handlers. The accused, Sumit Kumar, a multi-tasking staff member, was apprehended in a joint operation by Rajasthan Intelligence and Air Force Intelligence. Investigations revealed he had been in contact with operatives since 2023 and was allegedly sharing sensitive information, including details about fighter aircraft, missile systems, and personnel, via social media in exchange for money. The case, registered under the Official Secrets Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, stems from an earlier arrest in Jaisalmer and may point to a wider espionage network under investigation. (PC: NDTV)
