Gujarat: Honeytrapped BSF personnel had leaked crucial information to Pakistan

The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has successfully dismantled a Pakistani intelligence agency (ISI) spy network operating in the Kutch region. The arrest of an individual named Vishal Badia on Saturday, 8th July 2023, has shed light on the case involving a honeytrap, in which he was compromised and subsequently divulged sensitive information about Indian Security Forces to Pakistan.

According to sources, Vishal is employed with the Border Security Force (BSF), although specific details about his position remain undisclosed. Investigations have revealed that Vishal had been maintaining communication with a virtual online person Aditi. The two were engaged in frequent conversations.

Under the influence of this young woman, Vishal had been clandestinely providing her with a multitude of vital information, including photographs and maps detailing the locations of Indian soldiers deployed along the Kutch border. In return for his services, he received a sum of 25 thousand rupees as well. Presently, Vishal has been transported to Ahmedabad by the ATS, where further interrogation will take place.

The arrest of Vishal Badia has unveiled a concerning breach in national security, as valuable intelligence was compromised and transmitted to Pakistan.
