Delhi Police, acting on tips from the IAF intelligence wing, arrested the officer for purportedly sharing sensitive data. Officials say the breach resulted from a honey-trap operation orchestrated by Pakistani operatives via online platforms. The case highlights concerns over cyber-espionage targeting military personnel. No further details about the alleged material or the officer's identity have been released.
