Spying on Ambala Air Force Station: Haryana Police arrested a man on Tuesday January 6 2026 for spying on the Ambala Air Force Station and sharing secret information with Pakistan. Police officials said the accused passed sensitive details to a person across the border. The arrest raised serious security concerns because the air force station is a very important defence location.
The accused is Sunil Kumar. He lives in Sabka village under the Saha area of Ambala. Police said he stayed in contact with a woman from Pakistan through a social media platform for about seven months. During this time he often talked to her and slowly started sharing private details.

How the Spy Network Worked?
Police officers said Sunil Kumar also knew a contractor who worked inside the Air Force Station. Because of this link he visited the base many times. During these visits he allegedly sent his live location photos and videos of the area. He shared all this data with the Pakistani woman using a mobile application.
Police believe the woman trapped him using emotional talks. Officers strongly suspect a honey trap. The chats between them show that he trusted her deeply and did not realize the danger.
Ambala DSP Crime Virender Kumar spoke about the case. He said “preliminary investigation revealed that the accused was passing on information related to the Air Force Station to a neighbouring country”. He also said the local court sent Sunil Kumar to four days of police remand.
Police teams are now trying to recover deleted data from Sunil Kumar’s mobile phone. Officers said they are checking messages photos videos and call records. They also want to know if more people helped him. The investigation is still going on and police have not ruled out more arrests.

Spying Cases Rise
In recent times India has seen several spying cases. Police in different states have caught people sharing army movement details through social media. Some were lured with money while others were trapped through fake online friendships.
A 15-year-old and a contractor were arrested in Pathankot and Ambala for sharing security details with Pakistan’s ISI and terror networks, police said. In December, Assam police arrested a retired Indian Air Force officer over alleged links with a Pakistani espionage network.
These cases show how enemies now use mobile phones and apps instead of old spy methods. Security agencies have again warned people to stay alert online. Officials say sharing photos videos or locations of defence areas is a serious crime.
