14 ships, one mole: How a young engineer exposed Indian naval warships' locations to Pakistani operatives

A junior engineer from Thane, Maharashtra, has been arrested for allegedly leaking restricted information about 14 Indian Navy warships and submarines to Pakistani Intelligence Operatives. Ravi Verma, 27, reportedly shared the data through sketches, audio notes, and chats, after being honey-trapped online. Maharashtra ATS discovered detailed exchanges, including sensitive diagrams and a voice message, confirming Verma's direct knowledge and involvement.
