Mumbai – The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad has arrested 23-year-old Gaurav Patil from his home in Navi Mumbai in connection with providing India’s confidential information to Pakistan’s spy agency ISI. He was caught in a ‘honey trap’ (strategy by which a man is lured by a woman). The Court has sent him to one-week Police custody.

Gaurav Patil works as an apprentice at the Naval Dock.

• The Investigation team has registered a case against a total of 4 people in this case. Of these,  three were in contact with Gaurav Patil.

• Gaurav had sent some really important videos and photographs related to the Indian Naval ships via WhatsApp to an unknown contact. He was in contact with these Facebook profiles.

The amount received by Gaurav Patil from Pakistan is now being investigated.

Editorial Perspective

Those who get caught in the ‘honey trap’ and give the confidential information of our country to the enemy country should be hanged.
