The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad has today arrested a Junior Works Manager at the Kanpur Ordnance Factory, for allegedly leaking sensitive and classified information to a suspected Pakistani intelligence agent via social media.
Earlier, 13 of this month, UP ATS had arrested an employee at the ordnance factory in Firozabad, for conspiring with the suspected Pakistani agent.
The accused sent photographs and important confidential documents, equipment, ammunition production data, attendance sheets of Kanpur employees, machine layouts and production-related charts of the Kanpur Ordnance Factory.
The Police said that the leaked information could severely compromise India’s unity, integrity, and sovereignty, posing a significant threat to national security.
