Sources said Pakistan-linked honey-trapping networks are allegedly targeting young Agniveers posted at sensitive locations, prompting central intelligence and law-enforcement agencies to intensify scrutiny of their social-media accounts, online interactions, and financial transactions.

According to the sources, a number of Agniveers posted at sensitive locations, including cities across the northern region, have been identified for scrutiny as part of an ongoing counter-intelligence exercise.

Intelligence agencies are examining their digital activity to determine whether any restricted or operationally sensitive information was shared with suspicious social-media accounts, the sources added.

The personnel under scrutiny were found interacting with accounts that are now being investigated. Additionally, a list of suspected cases has reportedly been prepared and is being examined by the concerned agencies.
