Chandigarh: Punjab Police have arrested two individuals for alleged espionage activities linked to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), marking a significant counterintelligence breakthrough, officials confirmed on Sunday.
The accused have been identified as Gurpreet Singh alias Gopy Foji and Sahil Masih alias Shali, Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav announced. The arrests were made by the Amritsar Rural Police during a major intelligence-driven operation.
According to preliminary investigations, Gurpreet Singh was in direct contact with ISI operatives and is believed to have shared sensitive and confidential information using pen drives. The ISI handler involved in the case has been identified as Rana Javed, Yadav said in a post on social media platform X.
Police also seized two mobile phones allegedly used to communicate with Pakistani intelligence agents. Investigations are ongoing to dismantle the wider espionage-terror network and uncover any additional collaborators connected to the case.
