Vishal Yadav, a clerk in the Indian Navy, has been arrested on charges of sending classified information to Pakistan. According to investigative agencies, the accused transmitted sensitive military information to the enemy country during 'Operation Sindoor.' Following this revelation, the country's security agencies have heightened their vigilance and investigations. Vishal, arrested from the Navy building in Delhi on Wednesday, was brought to Jaipur for questioning, where the CJM court on Thursday remanded him to four days of police custody.
Investigative agencies are now conducting in-depth questioning of the accused regarding his role, contact sources, and the volume of information leaked. Preliminary investigations revealed that Vishal Yadav came under the agencies' radar during 'Operation Sindoor.' The matter is currently being viewed in relation to national security, and investigations are underway to determine if an organized network was active behind the accused.
Vishal Yadav remanded for four days
Vishal Yadav, the Upper Division Clerk of the Indian Navy, arrested on charges of spying for a Pakistani intelligence agency, was presented before the CJM court on Thursday afternoon. During the hearing, the investigating agency sought a four-day police remand of the accused from the court, which the court granted. Now, the accused will remain in the custody of Rajasthan Police CID until 11 AM on June 30th. According to officials, during the remand period, he will be extensively questioned about several sensitive security-related information.
Special Public Prosecutor Sudesh Kumar Sattwan stated that the investigating agencies had been monitoring Vishal Yadav since 2022. Information about his suspicious activities was received then, but no concrete evidence could be found. Now that solid evidence has come to light, he was arrested from the Navy building in Delhi. Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused shared several crucial information related to the Indian Navy and national security with a Pakistani female handler. Currently, the investigating agencies are also scrutinizing his network and old links.
Spying network linked to Pakistani handler
Following the arrest of Indian Navy clerk Vishal Yadav, another shocking aspect has come to light. Investigative agencies suspect that Yadav also leaked vital intelligence to Pakistan during the Navy's sensitive operation "Sindoor." He came under the agencies' radar during this very operation.
The investigation revealed that Vishal was in contact with a purported Pakistani female handler, whom he had saved in his phone under the name "Priya Sharma." Special Public Prosecutor Sudesh Kumar Sattwan says that the name saved in the mobile is probably fake and may have been used to conceal the real identity.
Now, security agencies are trying to find out who that woman actually is, where she was operating from, and how she reached Vishal. Along with this, the investigation is also looking into how long Yadav was involved in this activity, how much money he received in return—whether it was in cryptocurrency or via direct bank transfer.
An investigation is also underway to determine whether Yadav was working alone or whether other people were also involved in this espionage. Currently, agencies are questioning him to unravel the layers of this entire espionage module. Further arrests are likely in this case in the coming days.
Navy Clerk Turns Traitor
Vishal Yadav, a resident of Rewari, Haryana, who was posted as an Upper Division Clerk (UDC) at the Navy building in New Delhi, has been charged with serious allegations of treason and espionage. Investigative agencies claim that he sent sensitive and defense-related information of India to a female handler in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. The security agencies are in a state of uproar following this disclosure. The CID of Rajasthan Police and other intelligence agencies are conducting in-depth questioning of him.
Vishal was arrested from Delhi on Wednesday, after which he was brought to Jaipur and presented in court. On Thursday, the CJM court remanded him to four days of police custody. During questioning, he remained silent and tried to hide his face. Investigating officers are trying to find out when he became involved with this espionage network and whether other people were involved in this whole matter.
