India’s Border Security Force (BSF) has arrested a 21-year-old Pakistani spy in Punjab's Ferozepur, India Today has reported. He has been identified as Mohammad Shahrukh, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad district.
The BSF is said to have recovered one Pakistani sim card from his possession. It has been found that the spy is a member of multiple suspicious WhatsApp groups. He also had six Pakistani numbers saved on his phone.
According to preliminary reports, the spy, wrapped in a bedsheet, was trying to click pictures of a BSF border outpost Mabbo.
This development comes at a time of heightened tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad following India’s air strikes targeting a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist training camp in Pakistan’s Balakot. Pakistan’s airspace continues to be closed despite some improvement in the situation yesterday.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
