Retired IAF staffer accused of spying for Pakistan
A man named Kulendra Sharma, who used to work for the Indian Air Force, was arrested for allegedly spying for Pakistan.
He was caught because he was sending messages to people in Pakistan and had some secret codes on his phone.
The police think he might have shared important information about radar systems.
He was not allowed to go free on bail, and the police are still investigating to find out more.
They are also looking for other people who might be involved in this spy network.
Kulendra Sharma, a retired IAF staffer, was arrested on December 13 for alleged spying for Pakistan-based agencies.
Sharma was denied bail by a Tezpur court, with police citing national security implications.
Forensic analysis of Sharma's phone revealed WhatsApp messages to Pakistan-based contacts and coded references.
Investigators suspect Sharma shared sensitive radar system information from Assam and other parts of India.
Multiple electronic devices and documents were seized from Sharma's residence, and the investigation is ongoing.
