Background of the Incident
In a recent turn of events, the Gujarat ATS has uncovered yet another case of honeytrap by Pakistani intelligence. The anti-terrorist squad arrested a 21-year-old fisherman from Porbandar named Jatin Charaniya for allegedly spying on behalf of Pakistan. Charaniya fell victim to a fake Facebook profile of a woman named ‘Advika Prince’, who was actually a creation of Pakistani intelligence to extract sensitive information about the region.
Details of the Arrest
The investigation began when the Gujarat ATS received a tip-off about Charaniya’s suspicious activities. It was revealed that Charaniya had been in contact with the fake Facebook profile of ‘Advika Prince’ for the past four months, exchanging sensitive information about India through various messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram. The local fisherman from Porbandar’s Subhashnagar area was caught red-handed by the police after they conducted technical surveillance based on the tip-off.
Revelations from the Investigation
During the interrogation, Charaniya admitted to sending photos and videos of Porbandar Jetty, Harbour, and the Indian Coast Guard to the fake profile. In return, he was promised a payment of ₹6,000 online. The ATS is now delving deeper into the matter to uncover any potential connections or motives behind Charaniya’s actions.
Police Inspector’s Statement
Police inspector PB Desai shed light on the case, stating that the Facebook page of Advika Prince was specifically created by Pakistani intelligence for honey trapping purposes. The arrest of Charaniya has raised concerns about the extent of such operations and the vulnerability of individuals to fall prey to such tactics.
Community Response
The arrest of Charaniya has sent shockwaves through the community of Porbandar. Many residents are expressing disbelief at the young fisherman’s involvement in such activities and are calling for stricter vigilance against foreign intelligence operations targeting unsuspecting individuals.
Conclusion
