Indian authorities have arrested a woman from Jaipur for allegedly engaging in a honey trap and conspiring with a commander of the Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed. The woman, identified as Babita, reportedly developed an interest in militants following a terror attack in Pahalgam in 2025, which spurred her to search for terrorists on social media platforms like Facebook.
Investigators allege that Babita planned to marry the Jaish-e-Mohammed commander and was involved in passing sensitive information. Her arrest is part of a broader security operation aimed at dismantling terror networks operating across borders and preventing radicalization.
The case highlights the persistent threat of cross-border terrorism and the methods employed by militant groups to gather intelligence and recruit individuals. Security agencies are intensifying their efforts to monitor online activities and counter such recruitment strategies.
Babita said her interest in Pakistani militants began after the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack. She started searching for terrorists on Facebook.
