Haryana Police on Tuesday arrested a man for allegedly spying on the Ambala Air Force Station and sharing sensitive information with Pakistan, officials said.
The accused, identified as Sunil Kumar, is a resident of Sabka village under the Saha area in Ambala.
According to the police, he had been in contact with a woman on a Pakistani social media platform for the past seven months.
Officials said Kumar was also in touch with a contractor working at the Air Force Station and frequently visited the premises.
During this period, he allegedly shared his location, photos and videos with the Pakistani woman through a mobile application.
The police said he engaged in frequent chats with the woman and is suspected of having fallen into a “honey trap”.
Ambala Crime DSP Virender Kumar said, “Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused was passing on information related to the Air Force Station to a neighbouring country.”
He said Kumar has been sent to a four-day police remand by a local court.
The DSP added that data deleted from the accused’s mobile phone is being recovered and further investigation is underway to ascertain whether others are also involved.
