The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (UP ATS) arrested Ravindra Kumar and his associate from Agra. They are accused of sharing secret military information with people in Pakistan.
Officials say Ravindra Kumar worked at the Hazratpur Ordnance Factory in Firozabad and had access to important documents. Investigations found that he shared secret information, such as daily production reports, confidential letters, a list of pending requests, and details about drones and the Gaganyaan project, with a female handler, code-named Neha Sharma, who works for the ISI.

Investigators found that Ravindra saved the woman's number as "Chandan Store Keeper 2" to hide their chats. He is accused of sending her secret documents on WhatsApp in exchange for money.
During searches, the UP ATS found sensitive information on Ravindra's phone. This included secret details about drone trials by senior officers and the 51 Gorkha Rifles regiment. Officials say Ravindra was in direct contact with ISI handlers in Pakistan and shared information about India's defense projects.
After Ravindra's arrest, ATS officials also arrested one of his associates from Agra. The agency has recovered digital evidence, like WhatsApp chats and secret documents, which are now being looked at as part of the investigation.
