Indian Navy clerk honey-trapped by Pakistani operative
Vishal Yadav, a civilian clerk at the Indian Navy headquarters in Delhi, has been arrested for allegedly passing confidential military details to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.
He got involved with a Pakistani handler, "Priya Sharma," who reached out on social media and paid him for naval secrets using bank transfers and cryptocurrency.
The Rajasthan Police caught him after months of tracking espionage networks.
Yadav's online gaming addiction and debts led to espionage
Investigators found that Yadav's online gaming addiction and mounting debts pushed him to share sensitive documents over several years—including recent military operation details.
He's now being held in Jaipur while intelligence agencies figure out how much damage was done and if anyone else was involved.
The case has also put the spotlight on how social media and digital payments can be used for spying, with security agencies urging everyone to be careful about suspicious online contacts.
