A serving Wing Commander of the Indian Air Force has been arrested and charged with leaking sensitive defense information, following an alleged "honey-trapping" scheme by Pakistan's intelligence operatives via social media. The officer, taken into custody by Delhi Police on May 30, stands accused of sharing classified defense documents and strategic details. He is also suspected of installing data-stealing software on a colleague's phone in an attempt to gain control over it. The malware reportedly tracked real-time locations, intercepted communication logs, and extracted stored data from the secondary device. The IAF spokesperson confirmed the officer was under surveillance and handed over to law enforcement agencies. In line with its "zero tolerance" policy towards such offenses, the IAF stated he was caught due to proactive measures. According to sources, the officer had been under IAF surveillance for a few months before the Intelligence Bureau was alerted about his activities. After being informed by the IAF's intelligence wing, Delhi Police arrested him and he is currently held in Tihar jail in judicial custody. His identity has not been disclosed as the case is sub judice. The Wing Commander has been booked under provisions of the Official Secrets Act for allegedly leaking classified information and confidential defense documents. Delhi police sources stated that the officer began communicating with a woman on social media, who gained his trust and requested military-related information. After a comprehensive investigation, police filed a chargesheet before a Saket court on July 30. This incident mirrors a similar case in 2018 when Group Captain Arun Marwah was arrested for leaking classified documents and sensitive military information to intelligence operatives he befriended on Facebook. Last year, a resident of Alwar was apprehended for allegedly spying for Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI; he too had reportedly been "honey-trapped" by a Pakistani woman handler posing as Isha Sharma. During a surveillance operation in the cantonment area of Alwar, his activities were found to be suspicious, and he was subsequently arrested.
