Lucknow: Ravindra Kumar, working as chargeman in Hazratpur Ordnance Factory of Firozabad district, was arrested by UP ATS from Agra on March 14 on charges of spying for ISI. A new revelation has been made in this case that ISI agent Neha Sharma trapped Ravindra in her trap by introducing herself as a technical officer of ISRO. Ravindra came under the target of ISI after uploading pictures of the factory on social media. Now ATS is investigating his bank accounts, in which it has come to light that payments have come from unknown accounts thrice.
In fact, Ravindra Kumar had shared pictures of Firozabad Ordnance Factory on social media, after which ISI agent Neha Sharma sent him a friend request on Facebook. Neha started talking to Ravindra by introducing herself as a technical officer of ISRO. Gradually, this conversation reached to normal and video calls every day. Neha used to ask Ravindra about his duty, work and confidential information in the factory. ATS has found many secret reports from Ravindra’s mobile including drones, Gaganyaan project, confidential letters of the screening committee.
The game of payments
Investigation revealed that Ravindra sent important documents to ISI, in return for which money came to his account three times from unknown sources. ATS is now investigating the details of these bank accounts to find out from where and through whom the payments came. Ravindra had sent this information to Neha through WhatsApp, which she saved in her phone under the name ‘Chandan Store Keeper 2’.
Wife’s claim: Trapped in honey trap
Ravindra’s wife Aarti, calling her husband innocent, said, “My husband has been trapped in a honey trap. He must have been mentally pressurized. He is a very gentleman. His feedback at home and around is very good. ATS took him on the pretext of checking his mobile and made such a big issue. This is wrong.”
Used to go at 8 and return at 10
Ravindra’s neighbor Sudhanshu Gupta is also surprised. He said, “We have been living here for 70 years. Ravindra’s family members are very good people. He used to go at 8 in the morning and return at 10 in the night. We never thought that he would be involved in such activities.”

ATS arrested Ravindra from Bundu Katra area of Agra. The evidence found from his mobile includes the factory’s daily production report, information about drones and Gaganyaan project.
Ravindra is a resident of MP
