The Uttar Pradesh ATS arrested a man-Ramesh Singh Kanyal (43) from Didihat in Pithoragarh District of Uttarakhand for allegedly sharing sensitive information with Pakistan's ISI. Ramesh was produced in the Court and was sent to ATS custody. Kanyal was serving as a cook to an unnamed Indian Diplomat in Pakistan during 2015 to 2017 and was approached by the ISI operatives who promised him to pay for sharing information related to the National Security. Kanyal bugged the house of the Diplomat to get the information that ISI needed. Acting upon the Intelligence inputs shared by the Indian Army, the ATS team arrested Kanyal and recovered a cellular SIM card and a Pakistan-made cellular phone from his possession.
