Two individuals from Raxaul, Bihar, were arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Counter Intelligence Cell for allegedly supplying one-time passwords (OTPs) linked to Indian SIM cards to Pakistani intelligence operatives. The arrests were part of 'Operation Firewall', launched on October 25, 2026, targeting a cross-border espionage network. The accused, identified as Raja Kumar and Aditya Kumar Pandey, reportedly activated WhatsApp accounts for Pakistani agents using these OTPs. Investigators found that the suspects communicated with agents through encrypted platforms and received payments via bank accounts opened under false names. The investigation has also linked these accounts to attempts to gather classified information about India's naval assets. Both men have been remanded to judicial custody until November 10, 2026, as the investigation continues into their activities and potential domestic and international connections.
