Health Worker Arrested for Spying, Sent New IAF & BSF Sites Visuals to Pak, Got ₹40,000
In a shocking revelation, a health worker from Gujarat has been arrested for spying on behalf of Pakistan. Sahdev Singh Gohil, a resident of Bhavnagar, was arrested by the Gujarat police for sharing sensitive information about the Indian Air Force (IAF) and Border Security Force (BSF) sites with a Pakistani agent. The news has sent shockwaves across the country, raising concerns about the national security and the vulnerability of sensitive information.
According to the police, Gohil was paid ₹40,000 cash by an unidentified man for sharing the information. The probe revealed that Gohil bought a SIM card on his Aadhaar card and activated WhatsApp on it for the Pakistani agent’s use. He then shared photos and videos of the IAF and BSF sites, which were either newly-constructed or under-construction.
The news of Gohil’s arrest was reported by NDTV, citing sources in the Gujarat police. The police investigation revealed that Gohil had been in touch with a Pakistani agent through WhatsApp, and had been sharing information about the security installations and personnel deployment.
The police said that Gohil had been monitoring the IAF and BSF sites in Gujarat, including those in Bhavnagar, Junagadh, and Jamnagar. He had been taking photos and videos of the sites, including the layout, infrastructure, and personnel deployment. The information was then shared with the Pakistani agent, who was based in Pakistan.
The police investigation revealed that Gohil had been in touch with the Pakistani agent for several months, and had been sharing information regularly. The agent would then use this information to plan and execute attacks on Indian security installations.
Gohil’s motives for spying on behalf of Pakistan are still unclear. However, it is believed that he was lured by the promise of money and other benefits. The police are investigating the matter further to determine how Gohil came into contact with the Pakistani agent and how he was recruited for the task.
The arrest of Gohil has raised concerns about the national security and the vulnerability of sensitive information. The government has been criticized for its failure to prevent such incidents and for not taking adequate measures to protect national security.
The incident has also raised questions about the security measures in place at IAF and BSF sites. The government has been asked to ensure that proper security measures are in place to prevent such incidents in the future.
In a statement, the Gujarat police said that they had arrested Gohil under the Official Secrets Act and the Indian Penal Code. They said that Gohil had been booked under sections 3 and 5 of the Official Secrets Act, and sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 123 (recording a confidential document), and 124-A (sedition) of the Indian Penal Code.
The case is now being investigated by the Gujarat police, and further details are awaited. The government has assured that it will take all necessary steps to protect national security and prevent such incidents in the future.
