Op Sindoor Leaked: How Indian Navy staffer was lured by Pak handler ‘Priya Sharma' into spying
A routine social media romance turned into a national security breach. Vishal Yadav, an Upper Division Clerk at Naval Headquarters in Delhi, has been arrested for leaking sensitive defence information, including classified updates from Operation Sindoor, to a Pakistani handler posing as 'Priya Sharma' on Facebook. Like a previous espionage case involving Ravi Meena in 2022, Yadav fell into a similar trap: chats moved from Facebook to WhatsApp to Telegram, with encrypted messages and payments exchanged for secrets. Authorities say he sold intel related to India's cross-border military strikes in Pakistan and PoK, earning nearly ₹2 lakh. Forensic checks confirmed files, chats, and financial links. The case highlights growing threats from digital espionage networks exploiting romantic traps and social media. Are our insiders secure enough? This report exposes the modern face of spying in the digital age.#operationsindoor #vishalyadav #priyasharma #indiannavy #espionagecase #navysecrets #pakistanhandler #priyasharma #spynetwork #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Tripura needs stronger security due to current situation in Bangladesh: CM
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday exhorted various agencies to enhance security and surveillance in the state, given the current situation in Bangladesh. Tripura is surrounded by Bangladesh on three sides. Therefore, strengthening of security is needed, the chief minister said after inaugurating the state's first cyber police station here. "We all know the present situation in Bangladesh. There is a need to enhance security arrangements. The northeastern state has been made into a corridor for the smuggling of drugs and narcotic items. Infiltration from across the border is also another problem," he said. "There are reports that a section of people go close to the international border (Indian side) and have conversations with people living on the other side of the international border. The situation may turn ugly once AI-enabled 5G service is available," he said. Referring to the shift from conventional warfare during 'Operation Sindoor', the chief minister said cannons and the presence of forces were not seen in the conflict (With Pakistan). "Modern warfare requires a click," he said. "A mobile phone has become more dangerous than AK-47 rifles. Advanced technology has changed the form of battle, conflict or war," he said. Terming cybercrime a kind of shadow warfare, he said the security forces need to fight the criminals digitally to prevent fraudulent activities. Emphasising awareness among the people about cyber fraud activities, Saha said the security agencies are also required to upgrade their skills to foil fraudulent activities on digital platforms. The Director General of Police (DGP), Anurag Dhankar, urged the people to contact the newly inaugurated cyber police station if they encounter any incident related to cybercrime. The cyber police station is located in Agartala's AD Nagar and it will deal with all cyber-related crimes across the state. The Centre has given Rs 45 lakh out of the total outlay of Rs 5 crore.

16 Pakistani Troops Killed In Suicide Attack; TTP Offshoot Claims Responsibility
Last Updated: A suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a military convoy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, killing several soldiers and injuring civilians. At least 16 Pakistani soldiers were killed and more than two dozen others, including civilians, were injured after a suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a military convoy in the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. 'A suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a military convoy," said a local government official in the North Waziristan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The blast killed 16 soldiers and injured over two dozen others, including civilians. 'The explosion also caused the roofs of two houses to collapse, injuring six children," a police officer posted in the district told AFP. The condition of four injured soldiers is critical, an administrative official added. The attack was claimed by the suicide bomber wing of the Hafiz Gul Bahadur armed group, a faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The latest comes amid a surge in violent militant attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In mid-March, the TTP announced a 'spring campaign" against security forces, threatening 'ambushes, targeted attacks, suicide attacks and strikes". The TTP has since claimed responsibility for around 100 attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Around 290 people, mostly security officials, have been killed in attacks since the start of the year by armed groups fighting the government in both Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, according to an AFP tally. Attacks have increased in Pakistan in particular since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in August 2021. Islamabad accuses the Taliban government in Kabul of failing to eliminate militants who take refuge on Afghan soil to prepare attacks against Pakistan. The Taliban government denies these accusations and in return accuses Pakistan of harbouring 'terrorist" cells on its soil, pointing the finger in particular at the regional branch of the Islamic State group IS-K. Last year was the deadliest year in almost a decade in Pakistan, with more than 1,600 people killed in attacks — nearly half of them security forces personnel — according to the Islamabad-based Center for Research and Security Studies.
