U.P. ATS arrests Indian Embassy staff posted in Moscow on spying charges

The Uttar Pradesh Police on Sunday arrested an employee of the Indian Embassy in Moscow for allegedly spying for Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

The accused, identified as Satendra Siwal, a resident of Shahmahiuddinpur village in Hapur district, was hired as a “Multi-Tasking Staff” in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and worked at the embassy in Moscow from 2021. The position is comparable to that of an office attendant or runner.
