DRDO guest house manager leaked secrets to Pak, reveals interrogation
Jaisalmer: A 32-year-old DRDO guest house manager, detained Monday for allegedly spying for Pakistan's ISI, is said to have revealed crucial details about his espionage activities during questioning by security and intelligence agencies Tuesday. Jaisalmer SP Abhishek Shivhare said the accused Mahendra Prasad, who has managed the DRDO guest house since 2020, was found to have transmitted sensitive information about military installations and personnel to Pakistani intelligence. "Two mobile phones have been recovered from the accused and are currently undergoing forensic examination," Shivhare said. Sources revealed that Prasad, during interrogation, admitted to being contacted by an individual posing as a DRDO Colonel approximately five years ago. The impersonator, now believed to be an ISI operative, regularly sought information about DRDO scientists, specialists and military and air force officers visiting the guest house near Jaisalmer's Chandhan Field Firing Range. The accused allegedly disclosed that he transmitted strategic information by photographing various movements, tests and visiting vehicles, sending these details via mobile phone to his handler. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help!

Sources familiar with the investigation indicated that Prasad, who was hired on a contract basis in 2020, had been living at the guest house with his family. He recently sent his wife and four-year-old child to his hometown in Almora, Uttarakhand. Given the gravity of his confirmed links with ISI and the transmission of confidential information across the border, Prasad will be transferred to the Central Investigation Centre in Jaipur for further questioning on Wednesday.

The move came amid growing concerns over the vulnerability of school infrastructure, especially during the monsoon season in southeastern Rajasthan. Dilawar had said a statewide survey is being conducted by the district collectors to identify the dilapidated school buildings.
