NEW DELHI: The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on Saturday arrested a contractual health worker posted in the border district of Kutch for allegedly sharing sensitive information about military establishments with a Pakistani spy .
According to an ATS release, the accused, Sahdevsinh Gohil , 28, was lured by a Pakistani agent who identified herself as Aditi Bharadwaj .
He allegedly shared information about both under-construction and existing establishments of the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Indian Navy in the region.
Superintendent of Police (ATS) Siddharth Korukonda said Gohil, a resident of Lakhpat taluka in Kutch, had since June 2023 sent photos and videos of various BSF and naval facilities in Kutch district to the Pakistani spy via WhatsApp in exchange for money, reported news agency PTI.
The Pakistani agent first contacted Gohil, who worked as a contractual health worker at a government centre in Mata No Madh village in Lakhpat, on WhatsApp in June 2023 and befriended him.
"After winning his trust, the agent sought photos and videos of BSF and Indian Navy offices and ongoing construction around his village. Gohil shared the requested classified information via WhatsApp," said the SP, adding that Gohil knew she was a Pakistani spy.
In January 2025, Gohil allegedly used his Aadhaar (unique identification number) to procure a SIM card and shared the OTP with the Pakistani agent, allowing her to operate WhatsApp linked to that number from Pakistan.
Acting on a tip-off, the ATS brought Gohil in for questioning a few days ago and sent his phone for forensic analysis, Korukonda said.
"Forensic analysis revealed that both the numbers on which Gohil used to share the information are currently being operated from Pakistan. We also learnt that he had received Rs 40,000 cash from an unidentified person sometime ago for sharing that information," he said.
After the investigation, the ATS arrested Gohil and registered an FIR against him and the Pakistani agent under sections 61 (criminal conspiracy) and 148 (waging war against the government) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the officer added.
