The Indian Army's intelligence wing on Wednesday detained a lieutenant colonel in Jabalpur on suspicion that he had been honey-trapped into leaking documents, said sources.
"An army officer of Lt colonel rank has been detained in Jabalpur over a honey trap case. The officer is working in the Jabalpur workshop and has been detained by the counter-intelligence wing of the Army," the sources said.
The sources further added that the detention was done on the basis of the officer's suspicious conduct.
"He came under the radar after a big amount of money was transferred into his account. The observation is that he leaked documents after receiving the money," the sources said.
The incident came a week after a group captain of the IAF, who was posted at Air Headquarters, was arrested for passing on classified information to ISI agents posing as girls seeking modelling assignments.
