Police in Punjab detained Chandandeep Singh of Sarai Amanat Khan, Amritsar, on suspicion of transmitting photographs and videos of Indian army installations to Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI.
Punjab police arrested Chandandeep Singh, a resident of Sarai Amanat Khan in Amritsar, after gathering evidence that he had been sharing photographs and video footage of Indian army posts with Pakistan's Inter‑Services Intelligence (ISI). The investigation, based on surveillance and digital forensics, indicated that Singh regularly transmitted the material from his residence to contacts linked to the foreign intelligence service.
According to officials, the images and videos included sensitive details of army installations, which could compromise operational security. The police have seized electronic devices from Singh's home and are conducting a broader probe to identify any accomplices or networks involved in the espionage.
The case underscores heightened vigilance by Indian security agencies against cross‑border intelligence activities, especially in border states like Punjab. Singh is currently in custody and will face charges under the Official Secrets Act and related espionage statutes.
Further details are expected as the investigation progresses, but authorities have emphasized that no immediate threat to active military operations has been reported.
