In Bharuch, Gujarat, Pravin Mishra was apprehended for allegedly divulging classified information on DRDO's drones to Pakistan's ISI. Mishra, employed by a DRDO-affiliated organization in Hyderabad, fell prey to a honey-trap scheme orchestrated by an ISI agent posing as an IBM employee named Sonal Garg. Gujarat CID's ADGP Rajkumar Pandian disclosed that Mishra's phone led to the revelation, prompting charges under IPC section 123 and the IT Act. The ISI, targeting individuals linked to defense establishments, exploited Mishra's role in an organization collaborating with DRDO. Mishra confessed to sharing sensitive data, indicative of a broader espionage campaign.
