In a significant development, Haryana Police detained a woman identified as Jyoti Rani from Hisar on accusations of espionage for Pakistani agencies. The arrest follows allegations that she communicated sensitive information to the neighboring country.
Rani, who allegedly crossed paths with a Pakistani officer named Ahsan-ur-Rahim in Delhi, traveled twice to Pakistan. She has been arraigned under the Official Secret Act and relevant sections of the BNS, as authorities scrutinize apparent suspicious data retrieved from her digital devices.
Hisar's Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kamaljeet, confirmed the arrest and ongoing investigation. "We acted on certain inputs, detaining Jyoti under the Official Secret Act and BNS 152. Our preliminary investigation uncovered unsettling content on her phone and laptop. She admitted visiting the Pakistan High Commission in 2023," Kamaljeet stated.
