The SP said during the investigation, it was learnt that Singh, who had been pursuing a Master’s degree in political science from a college in Punjab, had gone to Pakistan on pilgrimage in November last year.
During the visit, he allegedly came in contact with Pakistani intelligence operatives and remained in touch with them even after his return, she said.
“We have seized his phone and sent it for forensic analysis,” Astha Modi said.
Asked whether he has sent any sensitive information, the senior police officer told PTI, “He has admitted to sending some photos of Patiala cantonment by clicking pictures from outside.” “We are also doing an audit of his finances and checking his bank account,” she said and added that now another FIR has been registered against him.
The latest incident comes close on the heels of another case in which a 24-year-old youth, Nauman Ilahi, was arrested in Panipat district for allegedly supplying sensitive information to some individuals in Pakistan. PTI SUN AMJ AMJ AMJ
