An Indian Navy officer was arrested in Coimbatore on Saturday for allegedly leaking sensitive national defense information to a Pakistani female spy. The arrest was reported by V6 Velugu.
According to V6 Velugu, the Pakistani female spy honey-trapped the Navy officer, leading to the leak of data from the Vizag Naval Base.
The Counter Intelligence (CI) Cell of the Andhra Pradesh Police arrested Pradeep Mukherjee, a 31-year-old from West Bengal. V6 Velugu stated that he was undergoing a Management Development Course at INS Agrani, a prominent naval leadership training institution in Red Fields, Coimbatore.
Pradeep Mukherjee was recruited as a sailor in the Indian Navy in 2014. V6 Velugu reported that he was recruited under the Eastern Naval Command, which is headquartered in Visakhapatnam.
