Delhi Police have arrested nine individuals, including five minors, for allegedly sharing sensitive military information with handlers in Pakistan. The arrests follow the earlier detention of six suspects on March 14, bringing the total to 15. The group reportedly installed CCTV cameras at strategic locations in Delhi-NCR and Mumbai to capture military movements, including troop deployments and weapon systems. The accused used encrypted messaging apps to transmit data, which included photographs, videos, and GPS coordinates. Authorities believe juveniles were recruited to avoid suspicion. The operation was uncovered after police received a tip-off about suspicious activities. Investigators are currently analyzing seized electronic devices to trace the network's connections. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to further investigate the case.

Key Points: • Nine individuals, including five minors, arrested for espionage activities. • CCTV cameras were installed to capture sensitive military information. • The group communicated with handlers in Pakistan via encrypted messaging apps.
