HYDERABAD, INDIA: An Indian army official was arrested for allegedly passing on sensitive information to a 'Pakistani' woman he befriended on Facebook, according to The Hindu.
The Indian daily reported that the Hyderabad police arrested Naik Subedar Patak Kumar Poddar, who works in the artillery centre, on Wednesday. Official sources said the woman is suspected to be Pakistani.
Further, it was said that the official walked into what appears to be a "honey trap" a year ago and was in touch with the woman who identified herself as Anushka Agarwal on Facebook, according to The Hindu.
Poddar is alleged to have passed on information about locations of missile units, movement of units and officers to her via Facebook and through emails.

If I were an Indian military strategist the arrest of the officer will add credibility to the (mis)information he passed on via face book and that is exactly what I will want.
In enemy's mind Nothing adds more credibility to the military information than the arrest of the perpetrators.
