Punjab Authorities Thwart ISI Spy Mission, Detain Gagandeep Singh for Disclosing Operation Sindoor Intelligence
Breaking News from Punjab: In a surprising turn of events, the local authorities have nabbed Gagandeep Singh, a resident of Tarn Taran, for divulging critical military data to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Known as Gagan in some circles, Singh was introduced to Pakistani Intelligence Operatives (PIOs) five years back by Pakistan-based Khalistani supporter Gopal Singh Chawla. With an ominous post, the DGP Punjab Police revealed that Singh had shared classified details about Indian Army movements during Operation Sindoor, including valuable intel on troop locations and strategic positions.
The Punjab DGP took to a social media platform, sharing, "Swift action based on intel from Counter-Intelligence-Punjab and Tarn Taran Police ensnared Gagandeep Singh @ Gagan, a local resident, in a joint operation. The arrested individual was found in communication with the Pakistan's ISI and Gopal Singh Chawla, sharing confidential military secrets."
According to the DGP, Singh was paid by PIOs through Indian channels, underscoring the complexity of the espionage network. The arrested man was found to have shared sensitive details about troop deployments and strategic locations, which posed a severe threat to our national security. Preliminary investigation reveals that Gopal Singh Chawla had been in touch with Singh for the past five years, serving as a conduit for their malicious collaboration[1][2][3][5].
Upon arrest, a mobile phone containing incriminating evidence was seized from Singh, with details of over 20 ISI contacts stored within. Financial and technical investigations are underway to unearth any additional connections and the full scope of the espionage network.
An FIR has been filed under the Official Secrets Act at PS City, Tarn Taran, and the investigation continues. This arrest marks the latest in a series of apprehensions of suspected agents following the Pahalgam attack. In the past fortnight, over a dozen individuals, including Jyoti Malhotra, a social media influencer from Haryana, Guzala from Punjab, and a CRPF personnel, have been apprehended from Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh[6]. Investigations suggest a sophisticated Pakistan-sponsored spy network operating across northern India, prompting security agencies to bolster their anti-espionage operations[4].
