Army Officer Sentenced To 10 Years in Jail for Sending Secret Information to Pakistan

An Army Court Martial has taken strict action against a soldier who was caught passing secret information to a Pakistani spy working at the High Commission for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in the Indian national capital. The court martial, presided over by a lady officer, sentenced the soldier to 10 years and 10 months in jail.

The soldier provided a list of documents to the enemy spy agency, including the guard duty list of the formation where he was deployed and details of activities within his own formation. He also attempted to pass on information about the vehicles used by the formation, along with a list of vehicle movements during the Covid lockdown.

However, the soldier only had access to trivial information. Despite this, the Army practices zero tolerance for such acts and aims to set an example by awarding exemplary punishment to the guilty.

The soldier's actions were a breach of national security, compromising military activities along the northern borders. Such activities are taken very seriously, and the court martial delivered a severe verdict to deter any such future incidents.

The court martial's decision to sentence the soldier to jail for over 10 years reflects the gravity of the offense and sends a strong message about the consequences of espionage and providing sensitive information to foreign agencies.

The punishment awarded by the court martial will be subject to confirmation by senior authorities. The Army's commitment to national security remains steadfast, and this incident serves as a reminder of the vigilance required to protect the nation's interests.
