AHMEDABAD: Gujarat anti-terrorist squad (ATS) has arrested a contractual health worker from Kutch for allegedly sharing sensitive information about BSF and Indian Navy establishments with a Pakistani spy, ATS officers said on Saturday.
They identified the accused as Sahdevsinh Gohil (28), who was apprehended in Lakhpat taluka. According to an ATS release, Gohil was "lured by a Pakistani agent who identified herself as Aditi Bharadwaj to share information about underconstruction and existing military establishments".
SP (ATS) K Siddharth said, "Gohil, a resident of Lakhpat, has been sharing photos and videos of BSF and naval facilities in Kutch via WhatsApp with the Pakistani spy for money." He said the Pakistani agent first contacted Gohil, who worked as a contractual health worker at a government centre in Mata No Madh village, on WhatsApp in June 2023 and became friends with him.
"After winning his trust, the agent sought photos and videos of offices and ongoing construction of BSF and Navy. Gohil shared the requested classified information," said the SP, adding that Gohil knew she was a Pakistani spy.
In Jan 2025, Gohil used his Aadhaar card to procure a SIM card and shared the OTP with the Pakistani agent, enabling her to use the WhatsApp account linked to that number from the neighbouring country. He was brought to the ATS office for questioning, and his phone was sent for forensic analysis.
"The analysis revealed that both numbers on which Gohil used to share information are currently being operated from Pakistan. He had received Rs 40,000 in cash from an unidentified person some time ago for sharing that information," he said.
ATS has registered an FIR against him and the Pakistani agent under BNS Sections 61 (criminal conspiracy) and 148 (waging war against the government).
