Indian police have arrested an Indian Army personnel on allegations of spying for Pakistan's intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
The soldier, identified as Rajbir Singh, was arrested last Thursday from Hashimara in Alipurduar district of West Bengal.
He is accused of passing sensitive and important military information to Pakistan's ISI.
A senior police officer said, "He is accused of leaking confidential and other sensitive military information to Pakistan's ISI."
A case was filed against him at Fazilka police station in Punjab on October 8. He was arrested on Friday after allegedly remaining on the run since the investigation began.
He was produced before a court in Siliguri on Friday, where police sought transit remand.
Government counsel Soumitra Singh Sarkar said the accused had been absconding since the investigation against him began.
The Siliguri court granted him two days of transit remand, during which he will be taken to Punjab.
According to the court's order, the accused must be produced before the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court in Fazilka by November 1.
Indian media reports said the location where he was arrested is near the India-Bhutan border. However, it remains unclear whether he was attempting to flee India
