In a major development in the chain of espionage cases emerging in the country, two persons were picked up for interrogation for allegedly aiding their handler in Pakistan to get access to Indian phone numbers to be used to honeytrap Indian officials.

The arrested suspect was identified as Haseen, who allegedly shared OTPs with his handler across the border to access WhatsApp and other social media platforms. His brother, Qasim, is also under interrogation, the officials said.

In a major espionage case, ISI is found using Indian phone numbers from Pakistan. Delhi Police contacted a DRDO officer targeted in the trap," officials said, as per the news agency IANS.

Several cases of spying for Pakistan have emerged since the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. Several people have been arrested for allegedly spying for Pakistan, including YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, a CRPF jawan, a Rajasthan man, and another employee of the Rajasthan government, among others.

A case which got massive traction was the arrest of Jyoti Malhotra, who was among many arrested from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh on espionage charges.

She had travelled to Pakistan multiple times and is accused of presenting the neighbour in a positive light to brainwash people in India. She was allegedly also in touch with a member of the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, Danish, since 2023.

After her arrest, several videos from her trip to Lahore went viral. These clips appear to show that she was given high-level security during her visit to Pakistan.

Most of the footage shows her walking through the streets of Lahore, describing what it felt like to be an Indian in the city. However, she is seen surrounded by gunmen carrying AK-47s, with security personnel closely following her everywhere. In one clip, officials even stop traffic to make way for her.
