Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (UP ATS) apprehended a Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agent, Satyendra Siwal, stationed at the Indian Embassy in Moscow since 2021. Siwal, employed as Multi-Tasking Staff at the Ministry of External Affairs, confessed to espionage after initial denials. Allegations include luring Indian officials for sensitive information on the army and divulging embassy, defense, and external affairs data to ISI. The arrest follows a tip-off regarding espionage activities at the embassy. Siwal's apprehension underscores concerns over foreign infiltration and underscores the need for heightened security measures in diplomatic missions.
