Delhi Police are investigating allegations involving an Indian Air Force officer who is accused of being lured through online chats by a woman and purportedly linked to leaking defence secrets to a handler associated with Pakistan. Police say the officer was contacted through conversations that allegedly facilitated access to sensitive information, prompting an espionage-related probe.
Authorities also indicate the case may not involve only one person. Police suspect the activity could be part of a wider network, with the officer potentially playing a role within a broader effort to pass information. The investigation focuses on identifying other individuals involved, examining the communications used to make contact, and determining what information, if any, was shared and how it was accessed.
NDTV reports the probe as an emerging case under police scrutiny, with investigators working to establish the full chain of contact and the extent of any alleged compromise. The matter is being handled as a security concern involving potential foreign linkage through purported intermediaries.
