CRPF SI arrested for spying: Mysterious woman emerges as NIA conducts raids across 8 states

A mysterious woman has surfaced as a central figure in the ongoing CRPF SI Motiram Jat espionage case investigation. According to sources from the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Motiram Jat allegedly passed sensitive information to a female operative linked to Pakistani intelligence.

This woman used persuasion and blackmail to extract classified details about Indian defence, paramilitary forces, and border security from Motiram. In exchange, Motiram reportedly received payments through various financial channels.

On Saturday, the NIA carried out multiple raids across Kolkata related to the case. Two individuals have been summoned for questioning as part of the ongoing probe.

In a massive search operation on Saturday, the NIA conducted raids at 15 locations across eight states, including Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Assam, and West Bengal. These actions relate to a Pakistan-linked espionage case involving the recent arrest of CRPF personnel ASI Motiram Jat.

As per the avialable details, Jat shared classified information with Pakistani Intelligence officials who posed as TV journalists and had reportedly received funds from them. The raids targeted premises linked to suspects connected to Pakistan Intelligence Operatives (PIOs).

“He was allegedly approached by a woman posing as a Chandigarh-based news reporter from a leading TV news channel, who requested that he share some information. After some messages and phone calls, including over video, Jat allegedly started sharing classified documents with her. After two-three months, a man, a Pakistan intelligence officer, started talking to him, posing as a journalist of the same news channel,” said a CRPF source said to The Indian Express.

In some chats, Jat shared news clippings about paramilitary forces but was told not to send publicly available information. Later, he began receiving ₹3,500 every month and ₹12,000 for key intel, which was deposited into his and his wife’s bank accounts, sources said.

His activities were being monitored for weeks, and he was transferred to Delhi five days before the Pahalgam terror attack. Despite the news of Amit Shah’s visit to J&K being public, he allegedly shared it again and also passed on details about the closure of 50 tourist spots due to security concerns, the source added.
