Vishal Yadav, a Navy HQ clerk, has been arrested for leaking sensitive military data to Pakistan’s ISI, including during Operation Sindoor — India’s retaliatory strike post the Pahalgam terror attack. Yadav was reportedly lured online by a female ISI handler posing as "Priya Sharma." Forensic scans showed data transfers and chats over several years. He was paid in crypto. A wider espionage crackdown is underway, with multiple suspects under interrogation. The breach raises serious national security concerns amid heightened Indo-Pak tensions.
