Rajasthan: State Intelligence arrests ISI agent in Pokhran
Jaipur, January 30
Rajasthan Intelligence on Friday arrested an Inter-Services Intelligence agent from Pokhran in Jaisalmer district after investigations revealed that he was sharing sensitive information related to the Indian Army with Pakistani handlers.
Prafull Kumar, Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence), stated that espionage activities carried out in the state by Pakistani intelligence agencies are under strict surveillance.
During this monitoring, information emerged that Jhabararam (28) was engaged in suspicious activities.
It was found that the individual was in constant contact with the Pakistani intelligence agency via social media.
Officials said that the suspect was sharing information of strategic importance related to the Indian Army with handlers of ISI in exchange for a honeytrap and money.
He was also assisting them in carrying out anti-national activities by having WhatsApp downloaded via an OTP sent to a SIM card issued in his own name, police said.
Further investigation is underway.

Honeytrap and money... such classic tactics. It's a reminder that national security isn't just about big weapons, it's also about protecting our people from these psychological traps. Well done Rajasthan Police.
This is very concerning. Using his own SIM card for WhatsApp shows a level of boldness, or perhaps carelessness. Hope the investigation reveals the full extent of the damage done. Jai Hind.
While I applaud the arrest, I hope the agencies are also looking at the systemic issues. How was a person able to operate for so long? We need stronger counter-intelligence at the grassroots level in border states.
Shameful act. Betraying your own country for money. Our jawans protect us day and night, and such traitors work against them. Strictest punishment should be given.
This shows the modern battlefield is digital. Social media and messaging apps are being weaponized. Citizens need to be educated about digital hygiene and spotting suspicious approaches.
