NEW DELHI: In another security flaw in the army, an army officer has been caught and networking at social network Facebook with a woman from Bangladesh working for the ISI of Pakistan. The woman, in fact, previously "trapped honey" another officer of India in an espionage operation ISI in Bangladesh last year.
The Army is conducting a court of inquiry (COI) against the officer, a lieutenant colonel in the 82 Armored Regiment deployed in a forward training in Suratgarh district of Rajasthan, to determine whether or endangered disclose classified operational information along the western front with Pakistan.
The Army strongly denied reports that Lieutenant Colonel had also been embroiled in a honey trap - basically an intelligence operation to seduce first and then blackmailing a person in the disclosure of confidential information, or that two laptops containing sensitive information was lost.
"The officer was chatting online with women in the team ... there was no physical contact. No laptops are lost. We are conducting a Commission of Inquiry into the incident," said a senior officer .
Intelligence Bureau learned of the affair, as were the follow-up of women from Bangladesh, identified as Sheeba, after having caught another Indian honey Lieutenant Colonel, this time a special operations regiment paragraph, which was conducting a course Staff at the Military Academy in Dhaka Bangladesh last year.
"The officer of Para has been compromised in ISI honey trap in Dhaka. But instead of giving any information, which alerted the authorities in India and was promptly carried out in Bangladesh," said an official .
Other military officials were caught in the traps of honey in recent years. The Navy, for example, last year Commodore Sukhjinder Singh fired after his sexually explicit images to a Russian woman had emerged. Singh was posted in Moscow as part of the Indian team to negotiate the acquisition of aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov (now renamed INS Vikramaditya), for which India finally agreed to pay $ 2330 million after protracted and bitter negotiations with Russia.
Several military officers are also in the dock to compromise confidential information and data through the misuse of the Internet or social networking sites like Facebook, Orkut and Twitter despite strict guidelines against such behavior.
