Inspector general of police (security) Vishnukant Gupta said his activities came to light as the intelligence wing had been maintaining surveillance on suspected espionage activities of people, including Yadav, linked to Pakistani networks.
He was found to be leaking sensitive and strategically significant information related to Nausena Bhawan to his handler in exchange for money.
Yadav was jointly interrogated by various intelligence agencies at the central interrogation centre in Jaipur. Investigators discovered that he was addicted to online gaming and incurred substantial financial obligations.
To support his addiction and repay debts, he allegedly transmitted confidential documents to the Pakistani handler and received payments via cryptocurrency (USDT) and conventional banking channels.
