Gujarat: ATS Arrests Health Worker For Sharing Sensitive BSF, IAF Info To Pakistan

Amid the renewed Indo-Pak tensions after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Saturday arrested Sahdev Singh Gohil, a health worker from Kachchh, for allegedly sharing classified information related to the Border Security Force (BSF) and 온라인카지노 Air Force (IAF) with Pakistan.

Confirming the arrest, Gujarat ATS SP K Siddharth said, “Gujarat ATS arrested Sahdev Singh Gohil, a multipurpose health worker from Kachchh,” Siddharth said. “We had information that he had been sharing information related to BSF and IAF with a Pakistani agent.”

Revealing further details of the incident, ATS reportedly said Gohil was called in for a preliminary inquiry on May 1, where it came to light that he was in touch with a Pakistani agent named Aditi Bharadwaj on WhatsApp in June-July 2023.

“While speaking to her, he came to know that she was a Pakistani agent. She asked for photos and videos of the BSF and IAF sites, which were under construction or newly constructed. He started sharing photos and videos through WhatsApp,” Gujarat ATS SP added.

At the beginning of 2025, Gohil allegedly purchased a SIM card using his own Aadhaar details and activated WhatsApp on it for Bharadwaj’s use. The number was then used by the Pakistani agent to share photos and videos describing BSF and IAF infrastructure.

It has been reported that Gohil was paid 40,000 rupees in cash by an unidentified man as well.

“His phone was sent to the FSL. The WhatsApp numbers under Aditi Bharadwaj's name were being operated from Pakistan,” Siddharth said.

A case has been registered under Sections 61 and 148 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against Gohil and the Pakistani agent. 

The arrest is part of the ATS's ongoing nationwide crackdown on anti-national elements, particularly those with links to Pakistan.
