The Assam chief minister announced that two individuals have been detained for allegedly sharing information on defence movements with Pakistan, the Economic Times reported.
Assam's chief minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, confirmed that two suspects have been taken into custody for allegedly passing details of Indian defence movements to Pakistan, according to a report by The Economic Times. The arrests were made by state police following intelligence inputs that indicated a breach of security protocols.
The individuals are accused of relaying sensitive information about troop deployments and logistical movements, which could have compromised operational readiness along the border. While the exact nature of the data shared has not been disclosed, officials described the act as a serious violation of national security.
Security agencies have launched a thorough investigation to uncover any wider network and to assess the potential impact on defence preparedness. The state government has pledged to strengthen surveillance and counter‑espionage measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
