Major suspected of spying, Indian Army probes
A court of Inquiry has been ordered against an Indian Army Major by the Western Command Headquarters, on the suspicion that he may be involved in espionage.
An officer in the armoured regiment, which is currently based in Roorkee (Uttar Pradesh), he has allegedly been seen in the company of foreign women in various cantonment areas.
2 Corps, Ambala, will conduct the CoI against the Major. The Western Command has sent a team to Roorkee, and his computer and mobile phone have been seized.
When contacted, Defence Public Relations Officer refused to comment.
Sources said the Army has photographs and video recordings which show the officer taking a tour of the Chandimandir Military Cantonment, Subathu Cantonment and Ambala Cantonment with nationals of countries such as Belarus, Ukraine and Russia.
He allegedly kept in regular touch with his foreign associates and used multiple phone numbers, which were not subscribed under his name and were issued from Maharashtra. His phone details reportedly reveal that he used to call up foreign countries very frequently and sent messages.
For a few days in August, his phone was allegedly found to be diverted to a Nepal number. Later, the Western Command had reportedly traced some SMSes sent from his mobile to a woman in Nepal.
Currently posted in Roorkee, the Major has served in Ladakh and Mau.
Army personnel are not allowed to have contact with foreign nationals (unless they are relatives) or visit aboard without prior permission.
