News Topical, Digital Desk : Jaipur Spy Case: The troubles of Vishal Yadav, an upper division clerk of the Indian Navy, arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan, have increased further. After the completion of the four-day police custody remand of accused Vishal Yadav, the court has given permission to send him to the custody of the investigating agency for two more days.
An application was filed by Rajasthan CID in the CJM court of Jaipur and an appeal was made to extend the custody remand of Vishal, which was accepted by the court.
Used to take payment in crypto in exchange for intelligence information
Vishal Yadav, arrested on charges of espionage, will now remain in the custody of the investigating agency till 11 am on July 2. The investigating agency told the court that during the four days of interrogation, many important information has been obtained from the accused and many new facts have come to light, which need to be investigated. Along with this, verification of the received documents and other important evidence is also to be done.
The investigating agency also said that the accused Vishal Yadav used to take payment through cryptocurrency in exchange for leaking information. Transactions worth lakhs of rupees have taken place from his Binance exchange account. Since mobile phones are not allowed in Naval Bhawan, he would bring the documents out, go to his car and take pictures of them with his mobile and then send them to a female handler in Pakistan.
Information was also given during 'Operation Sindoor'
It was told that even during 'Operation Sindoor', Vishal Yadav had sent important information of naval and strategic importance to Pakistan. He mostly used the Telegram app to send documents and information. Apart from this, he remained in touch with the alleged handler 'Priya Sharma' through WhatsApp. The number from which he used to send intelligence information to Pakistan was saved in his mobile under the name of Priya Sharma.
However, investigation so far has revealed that 'Priya Sharma' is a fake name and the mobile number in question was being operated from a Pakistani network and IP address. Investigative agencies are also trying to find out who the real person behind this fake identity is.
'Priya Sharma' was associated with the enemy country
Special Public Prosecutor Sudesh Kumar Sattwan, who is pleading the case on behalf of the government, said that the entire focus of the investigating agencies is currently on the leaked information. He said that whoever the alleged 'Priya Sharma' is, it is clear that she is associated with the enemy country and was spying in India in exchange for money.
Sattwan said that it is less important for whom the accused was spying, more important is that he was passing on information related to the Indian Navy, Operation Sindoor and security to the enemy country in exchange for money. Vishal Yadav had also provided information related to the movement of planes during Operation Sindoor to a female handler from Pakistan.
