The accused was interacting with a woman on social media for several months. It is alleged that he was giving her information as per her instructions. The accused who was working in a highly sensitive place for the national security, was leaking sensitive information in return of money. The accused woman is suspected to be a Pakistani spy.

In 2023, the ATS had arrested 23-year-old Gaurav Patil for supplying secret information to an agent in Pakistan. He too was working at Mumbai’s Mazagaon docks

Editorial Perspective

Such cases will stop only when these culprits are charged with treason and a strict action is taken against them.
