Army officer’s wife booked on suspicion of sharing sensitive info with foreign nations

A serving Army officer's spouse is currently under investigation by the Jammu and Kashmir Police for allegedly sharing sensitive information with foreign nations, posing a threat to national security. Police and military officials, who requested anonymity, confirmed the incident and stated that a First Information Report (FIR) has been filed at the Gandhinagar police station in Jammu under multiple provisions of the Official Secrets Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

The inquiry stems from information received by the Special Operations Group of the J&K Police. While details are still being gathered, an Army officer revealed that the woman's husband is a mid-ranking officer who is not currently stationed in Jammu. As the investigation progresses, the woman is being questioned in connection with the alleged misconduct, though she has not yet been arrested.

The police have not released an official statement regarding the matter, and the Indian Army's Public Relations Officer denied any prior knowledge of the incident.
