Ex-Armyman’s Betrayal: Ferozepur Jail Hub of Espionage Ring
Gurpreet Singh, a former Indian Army personnel, has been arrested on charges of espionage. Authorities allege he leaked sensitive military information to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Singh, currently incarcerated in Ferozepur Jail on a separate narcotics charge, allegedly forged links with a Pakistan-based handler while imprisoned.
Investigators believe Singh exploited his military background and existing contacts to access and transmit classified documents. The nature of the compromised information remains under investigation.
The arrest highlights a concerning vulnerability within the prison system. Authorities are now scrutinising security protocols and reviewing existing intelligence to assess the extent of the damage and identify any potential accomplices. The case underscores the need for enhanced counter-intelligence measures to safeguard national security.
