Security agencies have arrested two men linked to a Pakistan-based gang for allegedly sending sensitive information about key locations and religious sites in India. The arrests were made following a coordinated intelligence operation that uncovered attempts to pass on details of strategic areas to handlers across the border.
Officials stated that the accused were in contact with operatives of the gang and were transmitting photographs, videos, and location details of important installations and religious places. The information was reportedly intended to be used for disruptive activities and to create communal tension.
The arrests highlight the continuing efforts of Pakistan-based networks to gather intelligence on Indian sites through local contacts. Investigators are probing the extent of the data shared and whether the accused were part of a larger module operating in different states.
Authorities confirmed that electronic devices and communication records have been seized from the suspects, which are being analyzed to trace their links and identify other possible collaborators. The case has been registered under relevant sections of the law dealing with national security and unlawful activities.
Security agencies emphasized that the arrests are a significant step in preventing potential threats to public safety and religious harmony. Further investigations are underway to dismantle the network and ensure that sensitive information does not fall into the hands of hostile elements.
