Jaipur: A 25-year-old
government clerk was arrested Monday in Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar
district on charges of spying for Pakistan, police said.
Pawan Sharma, was employed as a lower divisional clerk in the
sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) office at Suratgarh town in the
border district, some 600 km from here.
Pawan was under surveillance of state police's special operations
group for a few days. He was booked under sections of the Official
Secrets Act. Pawan will be presented in a court Tuesday, a police
official said.
The SDM office comes under the district collector's jurisdiction.
The permission for the army for carrying various war exercises in
the area is granted by the collector's office.
"Pawan Sharma used to pass on strategic information about army
exercises in the area. Suratgarh also has an air base," a police
official told IANS.
"He had been spying for Pakistan for about two years," he said.
He added that Pawan had a mobile SIM card issued by a telecom
company in Pakistan.
He allegedly used this SIM card to give information to Pakistan's
Inter-Services Intelligence. Some district areas bordering
Pakistan here catch frequencies of mobile towers situated in the
neighbouring country.
