Pakistani security agencies have carried out a major operation, arresting three individuals involved in espionage for the Indian intelligence agency “RAW.” According to officials, after the completion of legal proceedings, the individuals have also been sentenced. Authorities stated that they were providing sensitive information through honey-trap tactics and financial incentives.

Reports suggest that the accused maintained continuous contact with women linked to an Indian intelligence network and were trapped through social media applications. During interrogation, the suspects confessed that they provided sensitive information in exchange for money and other benefits.

Sources said the arrested individuals belong to Narowal, Bahawalpur, and District Neelum in Azad Kashmir, and they received payments through Easypaisa, cryptocurrency wallets, and bank accounts. Security officials stated that cases were registered against them under the Official Secrets Act.

Security sources added that after the completion of due legal process, all three individuals have been sentenced, although details regarding the nature and duration of the sentences have not yet been disclosed.

Defense experts say that India has repeatedly attempted to exploit citizens through honey-trap tactics and financial inducements, and evidence of such networks has surfaced in the past as well.

Analysts believe that this operation not only exposed a structured espionage network but also reflects Pakistan’s effective counter-intelligence capabilities.
