The police in Punjab’s Pathankot have blown the lid off a suspected espionage network and arrested a man for sharing sensitive information on Indian Army and paramilitary movements with handlers in Pakistan.
Baljit Singh, alias Bittu, a resident of Chakk Dhariwal village, had installed a CCTV camera at a shop near a bridge on the Pathankot-Jammu stretch of the National Highway-44 to allegedly keep an eye on the movement of the army and paramilitary forces, the police said.
