Special Public Prosecutor (PP) Sudesh Kumar Satwan said, "Vishal Yadav was arrested on June 25. He collected sensitive information and sent it to a Pakistani handler. The name of that handler is saved on his mobile as Priya Sharma. Documents related to the Indian Navy were shared and documents were shared during the time of Operation Sindoor. So, from where did he collect these documents and who were his accomplices in sharing the documents, to investigate all this, we have taken a 4-day police remand. There is enough evidence for conviction."
The investigators discovered that Yadav was addicted to online gaming and incurred financial losses. To repay his debts, he leaked sensitive information to his Pakistani handler in exchange for money.
