New Delhi: A woman believed to be an agent of Pakistan’s intelligence agency allegedly used an Indian mobile SIM card registered in Gujarat to entice an Indian Air Force (IAF) Wing Commander into divulging classified information through a honey trap.
The woman allegedly reached out to the officer via WhatsApp, sending malicious apps which were requested to be installed onto the devices of his subordinates, including their mobiles and laptops. This was allegedly done so that sensitive information could be accessed.
The Delhi Police Special Cell have submitted a chargesheet against the Wing Commander under various sections, including the Official Secrets Act (OSA), at the Patiala House Court.
Classified War Plans And Drone Information Shared
Allegedly, the officer sent extremely sensitive information to the suspected Pakistani agent regarding India’s war plans, drone capabilities, Air Force and military deployment.
The officer allegedly traded classified information for explicit images, sent by the woman. As the custodian of secret information around the IAF’s war plans, he allegedly sent details to the suspect.
Allegedly, the officer also shared information about the Leh airbase. During WhatsApp chats with the woman, he allegedly told her that it was not used regularly, but occasionally. It was also allegedly revealed that all types of military aircraft can take off from this location.
Details about drone warfare capabilities and personnel were also allegedly passed onto the woman.
WhatsApp Contact
The alleged contact began on January 12 and ended on April 1, 2026.
However, during this time, the officer was intercepted by security at his office on Race Course in New Delhi. He was allegedly found in possession of an iPhone, which was prohibited due to the sensitivity of the unit he was in charge of.
During an inspection of the phone it was discovered that classified information had been shared. The IAF passed this information onto authorities.
The chargesheet, submitted by the Counter Intelligence Agency, which is part of the Special Cell of the Delhi Police, alleges that the officer put the country’s safety and security at risk.
The prosecution is awaiting the necessary approval from the appropriate authority. The chargesheet is currently pending whilst the court takes cognisance. The allegations against the Wing Commander need to be proven.
