Network operated via WhatsApp

The spy ring operated largely through WhatsApp. The trafficked SIM cards were used from several Pakistani cities including Lahore and Bahawalpur. Preliminary investigation has not yet produced conclusive proof that any soldier was actively engaged in espionage; however, intelligence agencies have informed unit commanders and preparations for deeper inquiry are underway. The case came to light on 28th August, when a Delhi Police special team arrested Prabhatkumar Chaurasia (age 43) from Laxmi Nagar, Delhi. Chaurasia; a resident of Birgunj, Nepal; was found in possession of 16 Indian SIM cards, 11 of which were being used from Pakistan over WhatsApp.

SIMs purchased from Bihar and Maharashtra

Chaurasia purchased the SIMs using his Aadhaar-based identity in districts of Bihar and in Latur district of Maharashtra. He then smuggled the SIMs from Kathmandu and supplied them to ISI handlers. The Pakistani handlers created WhatsApp accounts on these numbers and used them to approach personnel in the Indian security forces and government departments.

Delhi Police say that in 2024 Chaurasia was contacted by a Nepali middleman who introduced him to ISI operatives. He was lured with promises of a U.S. visa and career opportunities in journalism. In return, he was tasked with procuring Indian SIM cards and gathering information about military installations and personnel.
