Suspected spy held in Haryana's Panipat for sharing information with Pakistan
'…(Ilahi) was in contact with some people in Pakistan and was supplying sensitive information to them,' Karnal SP Ganga Ram Punia, who is also holding an additional charge as Panipat SP, said.
The suspect, Nauman Ilahi (24), is from Kairana in Uttar Pradesh, who had been working as a private security guard in the district, the police said on Wednesday.
Chandigarh, May 14 (PTI) A suspected spy was arrested in Panipat district on Tuesday for allegedly supplying sensitive information to some individuals in Pakistan, Haryana Police said.
When asked who Illahi was in touch with, Punia said, 'These things are part of investigations. We have seized his mobile phone, and further investigation is ongoing.' Illahi's arrest comes amid heightened alert in Haryana in the wake of the recent military confrontation with Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack last month.
India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to cease all firing and military actions on land, air and sea with immediate effect following four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes that brought the two countries to the brink of full-scale war.
This arrest comes close on the heels of another incident in which Punjab Police said they have arrested two persons, including a woman, for their alleged involvement in espionage activities linked to a Pakistani official posted at the High Commission in Delhi. PTI SUN AMJ AMJ AMJ

Vandalism at Tagore's ancestral home in Bangladesh attack on India's civilisational heritage: BJP
A mob attacked and vandalised the ancestral home of Nobel laureate Tagore in Bangladesh's Sirajganj district on Tuesday. Addressing a press conference, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra called for global denunciation of the incident targeting the legacy of the iconic Indian personality as he described it as a 'preplanned' attack orchestrated by Islamic groups. New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI) The BJP on Thursday condemned the interim government in Bangladesh for the vandalism at Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home in that country, slamming it as an assault on the very soul of India's rich cultural and civilizational heritage. Patra cited media reports to say that Jamaat-e-Islami and Hefazat-e-Islam were behind the attack, noting that Tagore is an iconic symbol of Bengal, and Indian culture and civilisation. He also slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for not raising the issue, alleging that she saw infiltrators from the neighbouring Bangladesh as a vote bank and has opted to keep quiet for political reasons. 'She is driven by vote bank politics. We are driven by cultural politics,' Patra said. The interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus has not taken any action, and its conduct has not been appropriate, Patra said. He appealed to the world community to come together against it, adding that his party believes in inclusivity. 'The Bharatiya Janata Party, which stands firmly by the principle of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' issues a global appeal that all nations that uphold the values of morality, cultural integrity, creativity, and civilizational harmony must come together in unequivocal condemnation of this heinous act,' he said. The BJP strongly feels that India's culture and civilization, which stretches beyond national boundaries, has come under attack in Bangladesh. Patra said Tagore, who is called Gurudev out of respect for his immense contribution in different fields, created many of memorable works in this ancestral home, known as Kachharibari. It is also a government museum to respect his legacy. The BJP MP noted that he not only wrote India's national anthem but also that of Bangladesh, which has seen a surge in the activities of Islamic hardlines following the deposition of Sheikh Hasina last year.

"India stands very high on global platform": BJP's Sambit Patra
New Delhi [India], June 12 (ANI): Taking a dig at Congress leadership, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sambit Patra on Thursday said that Jairam Ramesh was always in a hurry to put India in the dock in the name of attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Patra said that India stands very high on the global platform. 'Jairam Ramesh and Rahul Gandhi are always in a hurry to put India in the dock in the name of attacking PM Modi. They said the same things about the G7. But where will they hide their faces regarding that? There is no need to take them seriously. 'Today, India stands very high on the global platform,' said BJP MP Sambit Patra on Congress MP Jairam Ramesh's X post on the US reportedly extending an invitation to Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir. In a response to Congress leader Nana Patole comparing Operation Sindoor to 'children's video game', Patra said, 'If the Congress party has decided to commit suicide, then as good citizens of this country, we should appeal to them not to commit suicide, for god's sake. Who are the children that Nana Patole is referring to? The Indian armed forces? Were the BrahMos missiles that were fired a part of a video game?... Rahul Gandhi is the child he was talking about, who plays video games day and night. That is why an essential issue like Operation Sindoor looks like a video game to the leaders of his party. Ask Rahul Gandhi not to play video games but to be serious about the affairs happening around him.' This came after Congress MP Jairam Ramesh questioned the US for inviting Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, to US Army Day celebrations on June 14. Jairam Ramesh condemned the decision, citing the 'two nations' remarks by Munir just before the Pahalgam terror attacks. In a post on X, he said, 'This is the man who spoke in such incendiary and provocative language just before the Pahalgam terror attacks. What is the US really up to? This is another huge diplomatic setback for India.' Jairam Ramesh called the US' comment on Pakistan - 'great partner in the counter-terrorism campaign' - a setback for India. In a post on X, he said, 'Recently, the head of the US Central Command called Pakistan a 'great partner in the counter-terrorism campaign'. What will our Prime Minister and his government say to this? Is this not a diplomatic setback for India?' Munir is reportedly set to arrive in Washington, DC, following an invitation from his American counterpart to participate in the US Army's 250th anniversary celebrations. The main festivities for the US Army parade will be held on Saturday, June 14, coinciding with US President Donald Trump's birthday, The News reported. The US Army's 250th anniversary will be marked with a large-scale festival and parade in Washington on Saturday, June 14. The event is expected to feature approximately 6,600 soldiers, 150 military vehicles, and over 50 aircraft. (ANI)
