Pak Spy In India | Exclusive: How Navy HQ Clerk Recruited By Pak Spy 'Priya Sharma' Was Caught

[Faani83]

It was a crypto currency trail that led intelligence agencies to upper division clerk Vikas Yadav in Nau Sena Bhavan, the naval wing of the Defence Ministry. Mr Yadav was addicted to online gaming, sources said. A Pakistani woman identified as 'Priya Sharma' - clearly a fake name - befriended him on Facebook three years ago after seeing his addiction, and persuaded him into spying for Pakistan. Thereafter, she became her handler.

An Indian Navy clerk, Vishal Yadav, has been arrested for spying for Pakistan’s ISI, after allegedly leaking sensitive defence information in exchange for money. He was reportedly honey-trapped by a female ISI handler posing as Priya Sharma on social media. His arrest is part of a wider crackdown on Pakistani spy network in India. Investigators say these operations are being coordinated from the Pakistani High Commission in Delhi, under diplomatic cover.

Salute to Vikas Yadav

Humanity would always remember your services

Such spies keep getting unearthed in India at regular intervals.
This means two things - ISI is damn good and has infiltrated into most Indian organisations and RAW is useless. I have never heard of an Indian spy being caught in Pakistan
Or
RAW is too good at what it is doing as their agents or double agents never make headlines in other countries.

Whatever may be claimed by anyone here, we would never know.

It could also mean fake news

Always in the middle.
Honey traps are EXTREMELY effective against Indians - I have no other way to sugar coat it for political correctness.
The “working woman” industry in Pakistan actively assists as well at times by providing a real person behind a video call.

But many a times a fake profile works fine too.

So there is definite infiltration but India also over hypes and publicizes EVERYTHING.

This does not happen with Pakistan - there are many cases of even certain honey traps but they are quelled. But more importantly, Pakistanis have greater temptations from friends and allies on being turncoat with bemusingly cases of personal reporting Indian attempts while being moles for green cards.

Second, there was massive infiltration in certain sections/ethnicities of the population more than others. Baloch today will likely cooperate actively just as MQM members did back in the 90s and so on.
Lastly, because of lack of infosec practices by 90% of individuals at state institutions (barring military and sensitive organizations) India has much easier access via cyber espionage than Humint.

Humint is fully available with ANY Afghan roaming around Pakistan as they will actively cooperate and provide intel with some honorable exceptions.

On the Indian side - Humint is readily available from the honey traps, economic incentives for gulf job transition and so on.

At the end, for reasons I simply don’t want to get into a debate for and are too pithy but true - Pakistan has more effective honey traps available than anything India has been able to offer.

Or ISI can 'keep friends close and enemies closer'. That is also why cases aren't reported. I believe they have more fun feeding false info to known agents rather than busting them and searching for the next one....

It's a fake propaganda. Niazi's workers are more prone to stab Pakistan in the back

Don't need Niazi's workers when the whole of GHQ is compromised.

Wouldn't both sides have the same vulnerabilities - money, women, infosec, discontented minorities ? The only big difference is Pakistan has a large Afghan refugee population

Differences in which proportion of which vulnerability is more easily exploited

If one desperate guy gets a call from someone with a sweet voice and promises of riches of THAAT nature, out of 1000s, atleast a few are likely to fall for it.
Finding one separate souls shouldn’t be difficult.

As far is infosec goes, India seems worse. They leak worse than a sieve.

Possibilities are many. The truth is out there somewhere and could be far away from what is being theorised over here.

where is this guy even nowadays, the only reason he is kept alive is we can show him to public if anyone says india doesnt sponsor terror in Pakistan

we really don't need to prove or show anyone Indian state sponsored terrorism....

their killings of Kashmiris, Punjabis in their own country is well known...

then the recent killing in Canada, confirmed by Canadian intelligence to be sponsored by India and the attempted murder of another sikh in USA which was caught by USA, again points to Indian state sponsored killings and terrorism.

Didn't you notice, this time, Pahalgam attack, not a single country gave two shits about Indian barkings about terrorism....

Donald trump and his team took credit for Pakistan India ceasefire, yet never mentioned a single line of terrorism or that Pakistan should do this or that.....

this terrorist drama and playbook is old and out of fashion and outlived its shelf life.

Indians remain in denial.

Pakistan and terrorism is kept alive in the otherwise not so intelligent Indian population's mind because the BJP let hindu fascist government promised them a superpower dream which cannot even fight and win a war with a measly ten times smaller Pakistan....and they talk about countering China and Rafales shooting down J-20s.

This is the level of their delusions.

When you fail at everything, always play the race, ethnicity, religion card or something that unites your population into a sheep herd like mentioning all the ills of your own failures on Pakistan.

Those who are smart, are begging USA for F1 visas and H1Bs to get out of India.
