Amaravati, Two more persons have been arrested in connection with the alleged espionage conspiracy involving Pakistani Intelligence Operatives , police said on Thursday.
The arrested were identified as Bongu Ravi and Kadari Srinivas. The case was registered at Malkapuram Police Station in Visakhapatnam on October 12, 2025, under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Official Secrets Act, 1923. Ravi was arrested and remanded to judicial custody, while a Look Out Circular was initiated against Srinivas, who had left India for Saudi Arabia on October 11, 2025. The Andhra Pradesh Counter Intelligence Cell, in coordination with central intelligence agencies, traced Srinivas, who was intercepted at the Delhi airport on October 11, 2026, while returning from Saudi Arabia.
“The Andhra Pradesh Police Counter Intelligence Cell has apprehended two additional persons in the espionage case involving PIOs, bringing the total number of arrests to four,” an intelligence official told PTI. He was brought to Malkapuram Police Station for examination, the official said.
