In a significant development in the ISI-linked espionage case, the Punjab Police's State Special Operation Cell (SSOC), SAS Nagar, has arrested a serving Indian Army personnel for his alleged involvement in leaking sensitive military information to Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI.
This arrest follows the earlier capture of ex-Armyman Gurpreet Singh, alias Guri, alias Fauji, on July 9, 2025, who was accused of spying for the ISI and sharing classified Army documents.
Ravjot Kaur Grewal, AIG, SSOC, confirmed that based on revelations made during Gurpreet Singh's interrogation, a team from SSOC apprehended Devinder Singh, a resident of District Sangrur, from Uri, Baramulla district, Jammu and Kashmir, on July 14, 2025.
Devinder was produced before a competent court in Mohali where the police obtained a six-day remand for further interrogation.
According to AIG Ravjot Kaur Grewal, the preliminary questioning revealed that Devinder and Gurpreet became acquainted in 2017 during training at the Army.
Training Camp in Pune. Since then, the two maintained close contact and served together at various military postings, including Sikkim and Jammu & Kashmir.
While in service, both had access to sensitive and classified military documents, some of which were later leaked by Gurpreet Singh to the ISI. Devinder allegedly helped procure such documents while Gurpreet was lodged in Ferozepur jail.
'The exact role of Devinder Singh in this espionage network will be conclusively established during further investigation,' said AIG Ravjot Kaur Grewal.
She stated, 'This arrest marks another major success in exposing the ISI-backed espionage network. The SSOC is actively working to identify more collaborators and determine the full extent of the classified data breach.'
