CBI vs Retired Navy Officers and others — Naval leak case

The Jammu and Kashmir Police have registered an FIR against the wife of an Army officer on allegations of collecting and transmitting sensitive information to foreign intelligence operatives, including those linked to China. Authorities are currently examining her activities, which were reportedly related to research.

Authorities have launched 'Operation Firewall 2026' to investigate a network allegedly leaking sensitive naval information to Pakistan intelligence operatives. The case involves multiple suspects, including naval personnel and external associates, with several arrests made following allegations of data sharing through honey-trapping.

The Delhi High Court allowed an appeal filed by the Central Public Information Officer, setting aside a Central Information Commission order that had directed the disclosure of information regarding the Prime Minister's foreign travel conducted on Indian Air Force aircraft. The High Court reasoned that disclosure of such details, including the number of accompanying passengers and the nature of the travel, could pose a threat to national security.
