Police in Ambala have arrested a 31-year-old man for allegedly sharing sensitive information related to the Indian Army and Air Force with Pakistan after being honeytrapped through social media. The accused, identified as Sunil, a resident of Sabga village under Saha police station, was arrested near the Ambala Cantonment bus stand, officials said.

According to investigators, Sunil had been in contact with Pakistani handlers for the past six to seven months through social media platforms. Police said he was lured via a fake female Facebook profile and gradually trapped through emotional manipulation, inducement, and alleged blackmail. Sunil worked with a private contractor and had regular access to the Air Force Station, where he was employed as a supervisor on construction projects across different military units.

Using this access, he allegedly shared confidential details related to military unit locations, troop movement and deployment. A unit of Ambala Police has recovered WhatsApp chats and voice call records linking him to Pakistani handlers. His bank account is also being examined to trace any suspicious financial transactions.

Ambala Crime DSP Virender Kumar said Sunil has been taken on a four-day police remand for further questioning. “We are probing whether he acted alone or if others were involved. More disclosures are expected during interrogation," he said.

Police further alleged that Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI operated the honeytrap by first building trust through a fake online identity and later seeking sensitive military information in exchange for favours and money. Security agencies are now assessing the extent of information compromised as the investigation continues.
