The Jammu and Kashmir Police have taken a 24-year-old truck driver into custody following allegations that he was recruited by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to conduct espionage activities. According to official reports, the suspect, a resident of Kathua, is accused of establishing a live surveillance feed to transmit sensitive information to handlers based in Pakistan.

The arrest highlights ongoing security concerns regarding the recruitment of local individuals in border regions for intelligence gathering. Police officials stated that the suspect utilized his profession as a truck driver to move through sensitive areas, potentially allowing him to monitor security movements and infrastructure. The investigation is currently focused on determining the extent of the information shared and identifying any other individuals who may have been involved in the network.

While the police have confirmed the arrest and the nature of the charges, specific details regarding the duration of the suspect's alleged activities or the specific types of surveillance equipment used remain under investigation. The case is being treated as a significant security breach, given the strategic importance of the Kathua region near the international border. As of now, legal proceedings are underway, and authorities have not released further information regarding potential accomplices or the specific evidence recovered during the arrest.
