Shocking Spy Ring Exposed: India is witnessing a worrying trend as several Pakistani spies have been caught recently. In a sensational revelation, it has now come to light that Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI is using honeytrap tactics to lure Indian citizens, especially young men, into espionage.

One of the key revelations came during the interrogation of Devender Singh Dhillon, who was arrested from Kaithal, Haryana. He confessed to being honeytrapped and subsequently forced to pass on sensitive information to ISI agents.

Who is ‘Madam X’? The Woman Behind the Web of Seduction and Spying

According to investigation officials, a mysterious woman referred to as ‘Madam X’ has been identified as a major player in this espionage scandal. She allegedly targeted multiple social media influencers, luring them into relationships and then coercing them into spying for Pakistan.

Indian intelligence agencies are now on high alert and actively working to uncover the true identity of ‘Madam X’ and break the network she’s connected with.

Devender’s Confession: How a Visit to Kartarpur Became a Trap

Devender Dhillon revealed that he had travelled to Kartarpur Corridor with a group of around 3,000 pilgrims, including about 125 people from Haryana. While at the Wagah Border, he met a Pakistani man named Vicky, who he initially believed was a friendly local.

Vicky took Devender sightseeing, introduced him to a man named Arsalan, and later to a woman who eventually exchanged Instagram IDs and numbers with Devender. After returning to India, she blocked him—but by then, the trap had been set.

Later, Vicky requested Devender to deposit ₹1,500 on an Indian number with a QR code, claiming it would help a poor person. Devender complied. Vicky also asked him to arrange an Indian SIM card, which became a key point of suspicion during the investigation.

Police Crackdown: How Devender Was Caught

On May 11, a security agent filed a complaint at Guhla police station, stating that Devender had posted photos on Facebook posing with pistols and rifles—despite having no arms license. He was arrested on May 13, and during police custody, authorities found evidence on his phone of sensitive data being sent to Pakistan.

His confession revealed a deeper link with Pakistan’s ISI and shed light on a widespread honeytrap operation.

Ongoing Investigation into ISI’s Honeytrap Operations

Indian intelligence and security agencies are now:

  • Investigating the Indian SIM card used
  • Verifying Devender’s statements
  • Tracking the digital footprint of ‘Madam X’
  • Reaching out to possible influencers who may have been targeted

This is not the first time ISI has used such seductive tactics. Honeytrapping remains a core strategy in their attempt to recruit Indian nationals for spying.
