A Delhi‑based couple has been charged with monitoring army personnel facing court‑martial and allegedly passing information to Pakistan’s ISI, according to ThePrint.
Delhi police have opened a case against a married couple suspected of surveilling Indian army officers who are currently under court‑martial proceedings. Investigators say the duo systematically tracked the movements and communications of the officers, gathering details that could compromise ongoing disciplinary actions.
The couple is also alleged to have relayed the collected intelligence to the Inter‑Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan, raising concerns about a potential breach of national security. Authorities have not disclosed the identities of the accused or the specific army personnel involved.
The Print reported that the investigation is being handled by specialised units within the police and defence intelligence agencies, who are assessing the extent of the espionage network. The case underscores heightened vigilance against foreign intelligence infiltration targeting the armed forces.
Legal proceedings are expected to commence once sufficient evidence is compiled, with the accused facing charges under the Official Secrets Act and other relevant statutes.
The incident adds to a series of recent alerts about espionage activities aimed at the Indian military, prompting calls for stricter monitoring of civilian interactions with defence personnel.
