UP ATS Arrests Pak ISI Agent Working At Indian Embassy In Moscow

The Uttar Pradesh Police on Sunday arrested an official of the Ministry of External Affairs for allegedly working for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

Satyendra has been working at the Indian Embassy in Moscow as IBSA (India Based Security Assistant) since 2021.

"Satyendra Siwal working as MTS (Multi-Tasking, Staff) at the Ministry of External Affairs, has been arrested. He is accused of working for ISI. Satyendra was posted at the Indian Embassy in Moscow. He is originally a resident of Hapur," The Anti Terrorism Squad of Uttar Pradesh Police said.

The ATS source received information that ISI handlers were luring employees of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs with financial rewards in exchange for classified information about the Indian Army. The acquisition of this information posed a significant risk to both India's internal and external security.

The individual in question supposedly used his position at the Indian Embassy in Moscow to illicitly obtain sensitive documents. It is alleged that this person disclosed vital information regarding the strategic operations of the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of External Affairs, and Indian military institutions to handlers affiliated with ISI.
