New Delhi, Feb 9 (IBNS): In a major development, an  Air Force officer was arrested on charges of   espionage and passing on classified information to Pakistani intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence or ISI from Delhi, media reports said.

Group Captain Arun Marwaha, 51, was honey-trapped by a Pakistani agent who chatted with him on WhatsApp pretending to be a woman, say investigators, reported NDTV.

Sources told NDTV the ISI agent contacted the officer a few months ago and started chatting with him regularly.

The agent allegedly got some classified documents from him after winning his trust.
