In a significant security development, a retired Indian Air Force Junior Warrant Officer named Kulendra Sharma has been arrested in Tezpur, Assam, for allegedly sharing sensitive documents with operatives linked to Pakistani intelligence agencies. The arrest, carried out by Tezpur Police, follows a broader crackdown resulting in the apprehension of three additional individuals suspected of espionage activities. Sharma, who retired in 2002 and later worked at Tezpur University, reportedly maintained contact with suspected operatives, potentially using social media for information exchange, raising serious concerns regarding national security given Tezpur’s strategic military significance. The police have seized electronic devices from Sharma’s residence, which are undergoing forensic examination to ascertain the nature and extent of the information shared. Meanwhile, the investigation has prompted local reactions, with villagers protesting against Sharma and branding him a traitor, highlighting the emotional and social ramifications of the case. The ongoing investigation also led to the arrest of a woman involved in a money laundering operation with links to Pakistan, as authorities continue to assess the implications of foreign-linked networks operating in sensitive areas.
