New Delhi: Delhi Police has filed a chargesheet against an Indian Air Force (IAF) Wing Commander accused of allegedly sharing highly classified military information with a Pakistani intelligence operative in exchange for a nude photograph, according to details presented before a court.

The accused officer was arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell in August 2026. The chargesheet has been filed before the Patiala House Court and is currently awaiting cognisance, with the required sanction for prosecution from the competent authority still pending.

Pakistani Intelligence Operative Allegedly Used Indian SIM

According to the allegations, a Pakistani intelligence operative (PIO) used an Indian mobile SIM issued in Gujarat to communicate with the accused Wing Commander through WhatsApp.

The woman operative allegedly remained in contact with the officer between January 12 and April 1, 2026.

Investigators further alleged that she sent malware to the accused, intended to be installed on the mobile phones and laptops of his subordinates to extract classified information.

War Plans, Drone Capabilities Allegedly Shared

The chargesheet reportedly alleges that the Wing Commander shared highly confidential information concerning India's military preparedness, including:

- IAF war plans and operational details

- Drone capabilities

- Air Force operations

- Military deployment information

- Operational details and flight capabilities of the Leh airbase

According to the allegations, WhatsApp conversations revealed that the officer had shared information about the Leh airbase, including its operational usage and flight capabilities.

The chats allegedly indicated that the airbase was not routinely used but was occasionally operational, and that all types of military aircraft could take off from the facility.

Officer Came Under Security Scanner at Race Course Office

The accused reportedly came under scrutiny after security personnel stopped him at his office on Race Course and found him carrying an iPhone, which was allegedly prohibited because he was heading a secret IAF establishment.

Subsequent analysis of the mobile phone reportedly revealed the sharing of sensitive information, which came to the attention of the Indian Air Force.

Investigators alleged that the Wing Commander was the custodian of classified information relating to IAF war plans but allegedly disclosed it to the Pakistani intelligence operative.

Court Seeks Expedited Prosecution Sanction

The chargesheet has been filed by the Counter Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the Delhi Police Special Cell under the Official Secrets Act and other applicable provisions.

The court has reportedly directed the concerned Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) to expedite the process of obtaining the necessary sanction for prosecution.

Advocate Rajiv Mohan appeared for the accused, while Advocate Prashant Prakash represented Delhi Police.

The matter is currently pending before the Patiala House Court for cognisance, with the prosecution sanction awaited.

The allegations, if established, could have serious implications for national security, given the sensitive nature of the military information allegedly disclosed.

The accused has been chargesheeted, and the allegations are yet to be adjudicated by the court.
