Devbhoomi Dwarka, 29 November (HIST). The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has arrested a man named Deepesh Gohil from Okha in Devbhoomi Dwarka district on charges of spying on Indian security agencies. The arrested accused works in a private company and is said to be a resident of Okha. A Pakistani agent named Sahima was receiving sensitive information from accused Deepesh on social media. In return for this, she used to send Rs 200 to Deepesh daily.
According to the information given by Gujarat ATS, Deepesh, who has been repairing coast guard boats at Okha’s jetty for the last three years, came in contact with a profile named Sahima on Facebook 7 months ago. Sahima introduced herself as a woman and said that she worked for Pakistan Navy. Sahima also contacted Deepesh through WhatsApp. While talking to Sahima, Deepesh had described himself as doing welding and electrical work for defense boats at Okha Port.
Pakistani woman Sahima asked Deepesh to pay Rs 200 per day in exchange for sending the name and number of the coast guard ship at Okha port. Due to this greed, Deepesh started going to Okha Jetty daily and sending the number and name of the boat present there to Sahima through WhatsApp. In return for this, Deepesh deposited Rs 42 thousand in his friends’ UPI linked bank account in the last 7-8 months. At present ATS is collecting information from the accused youth.
