A local from Haryana’s Mastgarh Cheeka village has been arrested for allegedly providing information to the Pakistan Army and ISI during the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan.
The youth, identified as Devendra Singh, is a 25-year-old PG Diploma student. He revealed during questioning that he was in contact with the Pakistan intelligence agency, ISI. He also said that he would give information about the tensions between India and Pakistan to that agency, according to an official.
Devendra Singh also passed information about Operation Sindoor to the Pakistani Army and the ISI from time to time, said DSP Kaithal Veerbhan.
