A man has been arrested in Gujarat’s Bharuch district for allegedly spying for a Pakistani intelligence agency, police said. Pravin Mishra, a resident of Ankleshwar in Bharuch, is accused of collecting classified information about the Indian Armed Forces and defence research firms for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
The Pakistani operative used an Indian WhatsApp number and the fake Facebook ID of Sonal Garg to target and trap Mishra.
"She honey-trapped one Pravin Mishra, who worked in Hyderabad in an organisation which in turn worked with DRDO," said CID ADGP Rajkumar Pandian.
The investigation began after a tip-off from Military Intelligence in Udhampur, which alerted authorities about attempts to target current or retired personnel of the Armed Forces, DRDO, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), and those involved in missile system development.
