IAF Officer Arrested, Booked Under Secrets Act for Leaking Defence Information · thequint.com

Police arrested a woman who works for India's Air Force.

She is accused of sharing secret defence information with others.

Countries keep special plans and details private, and sharing them is against the law.

Police said she was following instructions from people in Pakistan.

She is also believed to be part of a larger spy network that targets Indian defence workers.

The Air Force's own intelligence team helped police find her.

First, she was kept in police custody.

Later, she was sent to judicial custody, which means a judge decided she should remain in jail.

The case is being handled under the Secrets Act, a law that protects official secrets.

Now she will have to answer for what she is accused of doing.
