About

Pakistani Honey Trap, also called Honey Trapped DRDO Scientist Arrested, refers to memes and jokes made in reference to the May 2023 arrest of Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist Pradeep Kurulkar after news emerged about his involvement in the exchange of state secrets with a Pakistani intelligence operative, in what public prosecutors are calling a "honey trap" scenario. "Honey trap" is a term to describe a scheme where a victim is lured into a compromising sexual situation to provide an opportunity for blackmail. Indian internet users began making jokes about Pakistani Honeytraps after news about Indian Air Force Officer Nikhil Shende being contacted by the same Pakistani operative emerged in consecutive days.

On May 7th, 2023, news about a senior DRDO scientist Pradeep Kurulkar's arrest over accusations of espionage emerged. He was booked for allegedly sharing sensitive information about Indian missiles on Whatsapp with a person he believed to be a female admirer and "proud Indian," but was in fact a Pakistani intelligence operative.

On May 4th, 2023, Redditor[1] Destiny657 posted news of the arrest to the subreddit /r/IndianDefence, gathering over 100 upvotes in ten days (seen below).

Kurulkar reportedly told the agency that he was un- aware that the woman was from Pakistan and that he shared in- formation with her because he was feeling lonely at the age of 59.

Some basic information is also available on the the internet, and thus far we haven't seen anything specific about the Brahmos missile being shared," an officer said. Sources have said that apart from Brahmos, Kurulkar shared details about Agni and some an- ti-satellite missiles.

The na- tional security adviser and the PM's office were also also briefed about the development. R As per the defence lawyer, Rhishikesh NUST R Ganu, in the first week of February, the the govern- ment of India initiated an en- quiry against Kurulkar, and his devices were seized on Febru- ary 24.

Ganu also raised questions ATS officers say person tried to gain confidential info on Indian Army, are probing if intel officer, too, was honey-trapped ATS officials investigating DRDO scientist Pradeep Ku- rulkar's case have discovered some sensational facts.

The defence also questioned the ninth electronic gadget shown in the remand appli- cation and stated that the red iPhone seized by the ATS did not belong to Kurulkar. The ATS explained that the phone belonged to a witness who had received a message from the same number used by Pakistani intelligence to trap Kurulkar. When asked if there is any link between between Kurulkar's case and that of the intelligence officer, the officials said that nothing conclusive had been found. However, they have discovered that the same number used to honey-trap Kurulkar was also used in the intelligence officer's case. After hearing arguments. from both the prosecution and the and the defence, the court extended Kurulkar's custody. The court stated that various witnesses had been examined by the ATS, and new facts had come to light during the in- a sting vestigation.

"This is an anti-national act on his part considering the post he was holding," the court said in its order while extending his custody. Therefore, the court ruled, that custody could not be denied at this s stage. During investigation, the ATS came to know that Ku- rulkar met different wom- en at DRDO guesthouses all over India. Now, the agency is probing if the woman who seduced the scientist to re- trieve classified information from him was in touch with the other women he met in India. Faizan Khan

While his name was mentioned in the 'Intel officer got call from same extended Kurul number used to trap Kurulkar' CELO whil letaile remand application, mid-day has withheld his name as the ATS has recorded his state- ment as a witness in the case. The officials found the num- ber of the intelligence officer while scrutinising details wer S dato of Kurulkar's calls and data, and he has been examined. The officer's phone has been sent to forensics and further action will depend on wheth- er he is found to have shared any confidential or classified information. ed out that the guesthouse records are maintained in a register and could be ob- tained from there, making custody unnecessary. The defence also questioned the ninth electronic gadget shown in the remand appli- cation and stated that the red iPhone seized by the ATS did not belong to Kurulkar. The ATS explained that the phone belonged to a witness who had received a message from the same number used by Pakistani intelligence to trap Kurulkar. When asked if there is any link between between Kurulkar's case and that of the intelligence officer, the officials said that nothing conclusive had been found. However, they have discovered that the same number used to honey-trap Kurulkar was also used in the intelligence officer's case. After hearing arguments. from both the prosecution and the and the defence, the court extended Kurulkar's custody. The court stated that various witnesses had been examined by the ATS, and new facts had come to light during the in- a sting vestigation. The investigating off had ale retri dato officer had also retrieved data that had been deleted from Hom Kurulkar's mobile phone, which needed to be exam- wach needed to the al ined. The court found the al- ti legations against Kurulkar to be serious in nature and stat- od that ed that he had shared images and data with foreign nation- ale which was det als, which was detrimental to national secu national security. "This is an anti-national act on his part considering the post he was holding," the court said in its order while extending his custody. Therefore, the court ruled, that custody could not be denied at this s stage. During investigation, the ATS came to know that Ku- rulkar met different wom- en at DRDO guesthouses all over India. Now, the agency is probing if the woman who seduced the scientist to re- trieve classified information from him was in touch with the other women he met in India. Faizan Khan
