Air Force Staffer Held for spying, Sharing Sensitive Info to Pakistan

In a major operation, Rajasthan Police on Sunday arrested a civilian employee at the Chabua Air Force Station in Assam for allegedly spying for Pakistan. 

The accused was reportedly transmitting sensitive Air Force intelligence to handlers, exposing a wider espionage network linked to foreign intelligence agencies. Prafulla Kumar, Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence), said the case originated in January with the arrest of Jhabararam, a resident of



Jaisalmer. 

During his interrogation, the name of another suspect, Sumit Kumar, surfaced, who was found to be in constant contact with Pakistani intelligence agencies.

The investigation revealed that Sumit Kumar (36) was employed as a Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) at the Air Force Station in Chabua, Dibrugarh, Assam. He allegedly misused his position to gather confidential information related to the Air Force Station and shared it with Pakistani handlers through social media.
