An Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has been arrested for allegedly leaking classified security information to Pakistani intelligence officials.
According to authorities, the officer had been providing sensitive details in exchange for monetary benefits over the past two years.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted the arrest after gathering substantial evidence of espionage activities. Reports suggest that the accused was receiving monthly payments for passing on vital defence-related data. The authorities are now probing deeper to understand the extent of the damage and whether additional personnel were involved.
Sources indicate that the intelligence breach was detected during routine surveillance operations, raising concerns over national security vulnerabilities. The Ministry of Home Affairs has ordered a thorough review of security protocols to prevent such incidents in the future.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to address the situation soon, shedding light on how the government plans to tackle internal security threats. This incident has sparked a nationwide debate on the integrity of security forces and the need for stringent vigilance measures.
