Pak spy Madhuri was looking for military info

 

Gupta reportedly began spying for Pakistan as she wanted to teach the "Indian Foreign Service a lesson" and when arrested she told investigators - "what took you so long to get me?"

Intelligence Bureau sources told CNN-IBN that Gupta sent seven e-mails in 2010, which contained her assessments that she prepared after "discussion\loose talk with several officers". In the e-mails she revealed about the assessment of political prospect of Composite Dialogue between India and Pakistan.

She was first suspected to be spying for the ISI when she started showing interest in military information. Sources said that the red flag was first raised by the defence attaché in Islamabad as Madhuri was looking for information on few military exercises of Indian Army.

Her luck ran out when she got bolder and started sending emails to her Pakistani handlers from her office computer.

Madhrui has reportedly named journalists from two Urdu newspapers in Pakistan who were close to her.

She was reportedly frustrated and sources say this was what the ISI took advantage of. She was in touch with an ISI officer, who had assumed a different identity. Gupta poured out her heart about her woes to the officer.

But investigators are not calling the Gupta case a honey trap.

Sources also say she passed on some information which she should not have access to and the information passed on was very voluminous.

Delhi Police are also investigating if she passed on any sensitive information while she was in Kosovo and the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA). The investigators are examining her bank accounts in India along with her accounts in Islamabad.

Gupta has also disclosed the identities of Indian intelligence officers posted as diplomats in Islamabad.

The role of RAW officer RK Sharma is also being looked into. But there has been no confirmation if any action has been taken against Sharma.
