Police CID (Security) Intelligence on Tuesday arrested a suspected Pakistani spy from Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. The accused, Mahendra Prasad (32), was employed as the manager of the DRDO Guest House at the Chandan Field Firing Range.

He was allegedly in constant touch with a Pakistani intelligence handler and was leaking sensitive information about India's defence activities.

CID (Security) IG Dr. Vishnukant said that in view of Independence Day celebrations, Rajasthan CID Intelligence has been maintaining heightened surveillance on anti-national and subversive activities.

During this monitoring, information surfaced about Mahendra Prasad, a contractual worker at the DRDO Guest House.
