Army Officer’s Wife Booked Over Alleged Links with Chinese Intelligence Agents
Jammu and Kashmir Police have registered a case against the wife of a senior Indian Army officer for allegedly collecting and sharing sensitive information with foreign intelligence operatives linked to China.
According to preliminary investigations by intelligence agencies, Chinese operatives posing as academicians contacted the woman and engaged her to write articles and write-ups on subjects of strategic and operational significance.
The interaction reportedly began with topics related to the environment and geopolitics before shifting towards defence-related issues.
Investigators have described this as an “intellectual trap,” with the accused allegedly interacting with the individuals without realising they were intelligence operatives rather than genuine academics.

A Father’s Unfinished Dream, A Son’s Proud Legacy
In 1989, Lt Col Arun Kumar Chhabra made the supreme sacrifice fighting the LTTE in Sri Lanka, just before taking command of the elite 10 PARA (SF).
His son Varun was only 9 years old when he lost his father.
Decades later, Varun joined the same elite battalion and eventually became its Commanding Officer, fulfilling the dream his father could never realise.
A father’s sacrifice. A son’s determination. A legacy that lives forever.
Remembering Lt Col Arun Kumar Chhabra, SM, on his Balidan Diwas.
Freedom Is Not Free. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
