A 45-year-old employee of an ordnance factory in Firozabad, Ravindra Kumar, was arrested for allegedly leaking classified information to the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI. The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) made the arrest on Friday. Kumar was reportedly honey-trapped by an ISI handler named Neha Pandey, who contacted him via Facebook and WhatsApp. He shared sensitive factory information over the past 9-10 months, influenced by blackmail and financial incentives. The ATS charged Kumar under Section 148 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Official Secrets Act, 1923. He has worked at the Hazratpur factory since 2006 and has been a chargeman since 2009.
