The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has apprehended an individual employed with the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders—a prominent service provider to the defence forces—on suspicion of divulging sensitive information to agents associated with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency. According to the ATS, an FIR has been registered under the Official Secrets Act against Kalpesh Baykar, 30, who has been arrested after he was allegedly found to be in contact with a Pakistani intelligence operative (PIO) between 2021 and 2023. 

Sources said that Baykar worked as a fabricator with the defence company since 2014. He started divulging confidential information after possibly being honeytrapped and was allegedly receiving monetary benefits in return.
