New Delhi: In a worrisome development, a soldier working as clerk under a powerful Military Intelligence (MI) unit of the Army has been held for allegedly attempting to pass on highly confidential operational information to the ISI.

As reported in The Indian Express, the soldier - identified as Shivdasan - was employed as a head clerk in the unit and was nabbed in April.

As per reports, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) had laid a trap to nab the soldier. The entire operation involved a “double agent” and a relative of the soldier in Dubai.

The DRI recovered a compact disc (CD), pen drive and highly classified documents which the soldier was trying to hand over to the Pakistani spy agency, the ISI.

The Army has been left baffled by the kind of information that the clerk was trying to sell.

Army sources say the data, which is being analyzed, likely contains detailed operational plans, information on troop deployments and even conversations between top officers at Army Headquarters.

Shivdasan was employed in the Technical Support Division (TSD), which was constituted in the last two years and functions from within the Army Headquarters.

Reports said the TSD, headed by Colonel Honey Bakshi, has access to privileged information. It had made headlines recently after being accused of illegal surveillance – the allegation was refuted by former Army Chief Gen VK Singh.

i am sure there are thousands of such clerks who are under-paid and resorting to this behaviour......imo its cause of poverty...their salary should be raised and they should be debriefed and allowed to continue their service.......trying them for treason will only cause more damage to indian economy cause of money being spent on trial and hence resulting in more poverty.

I know many years ago our assets worked so close to then indian PM that they would handover the complete original files for their masters review in Pakistan, which were then copied and returned. Once an ISI operative mentioned that indians could be bought for as low as a decent one time meal.

Shining india your billion dollar millitary assets are worth hoots if their so called protectors are dying of hunger.

ISI Rocks!!!
