Kutch, May 24
In a significant development amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, a man from Gujarat has been arrested for sharing sensitive information related to the Indian Navy and the Border Security Force (BSF) with a Pakistani agent, Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) officials confirmed on Saturday.
The accused, Sahdev Singh Gohil, a 28-year-old health worker and resident of Kachchh district, came under the scanner of the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) for his suspicious activities.
According to senior ATS officer K. Siddharth, Gohil came into contact with a Pakistani agent who identified herself as Aditi Bharadwaj through WhatsApp in 2023.
During an initial inquiry, it was discovered that Gohil had been sending photographs and videos of sensitive Indian Navy and BSF installations -- some completed and others under construction -- to the alleged agent.
"We had information that he was sharing information related to the BSF and the Indian Navy with a Pakistani agent," Siddharth said.
He further revealed that at the beginning of 2025, Gohil purchased a new SIM card using his Aadhaar credentials and activated WhatsApp on the number, which he used exclusively for communicating with the Pakistani agent.
