An Indian Army officer of Lt Colonel rank has been taken into custody in Jabalpur over a honey trap case.
The officer is working in the Jabalpur workshop & has been detained by the counter intelligence wing of the Army.
Sources said that the officer's residence was raided by officials reportedly on the suspicion that he might have fallen prey to a honey trap set up by Pakistan’s Inter-services Intelligence (ISI).
Delhi Police last week arrested Indian Air Force (IAF) Group Captain Arun Marwaha on charges of espionage for passing secret information to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency.
Marwaha, 51, was arrested by Special Cell's northern range on Wednesday after a case was registered against him under the Official Secrets Act (OSA). Marwaha was arrested after being interrogated for nearly 10 days by the counter intelligence wing of the IAF.
The IAF had detained Marwaha for investigation on January 31 after his activities were found "suspicious", said Delhi Police Special Cell's Special Commissioner MM Oberoi. The Air Force had then approached the Delhi Police to investigate the case. He was produced before a Delhi court on Thursday that sent him to police custody for five days.
