Pakistan’s security agencies have arrested three individuals allegedly involved in espionage activities for India’s intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), during an intelligence-based operation, according to sources.
The suspects are reported to be from Narowal, Bahawalpur, and Neelum district in Azad Kashmir.
Sources said the accused confessed that they were lured through social media platforms with offers of money and relationships with women in exchange for access to sensitive information. Payments were allegedly made through mobile wallets, cryptocurrency wallets, and bank accounts.
During the investigation, the suspects admitted to maintaining continuous contact through social media with individuals, including women, believed to be associated with RAW.
Sources added that cases were registered against the accused under the Official Secrets Act. Following legal proceedings, the courts handed down sentences.
Security analysts said India is allegedly using financial incentives and honey-trapping tactics to exploit unsuspecting citizens for harmful purposes, and urged the public to remain cautious while using social media platforms.
