Pathankot police have arrested a 15-year-old boy on charges of spying for Pakistan. The police have alleged that the teenager was in contact with handlers linked to Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
According to the police, the minor had been sharing sensitive information related to India with ISI handlers for the past one year. Officials said the information was passed on through communication channels that are now under investigation.
The investigation is still underway, with officials working to identify the wider network involved in the case. Police said all legal procedures applicable to juveniles are being followed.
Police officers stated that the case has raised serious concerns, as investigations suggest that ISI is attempting to target and recruit young children for espionage activities. They added that this trend poses a significant security risk.
Authorities said that other minors in Punjab are also suspected to have links with ISI operatives. As a precaution, police stations across the state have been alerted to remain vigilant and closely monitor any similar activities.
