🚫 FACT CHECK: This Tweet Contains Misinformation
Claim: NIA FILES INVESTIGATION REPORT AGAINST 5 JUVENILES IN PAK-LINKED GHAZIABAD ESPIONAGE CASE New Delhi, 18th May 2026 The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday filed its Investigation Report against five Juveniles in Conflict with Law (JCLs) in a case relating to a Pakistan-linked terror conspiracy to spy on sensitive locations with the intent of endangering India’s safety and security. NIA has filed its detailed investigation report before the Juvenile Justice Board, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, under relevant sections of BNS 2023, the Official Secrets Act, and UA (P) Act. A total of 21 accused have so far been arrested in the Ghaziabad espionage case, originally registered by the local police in March 2026 for installation of solar-powered cameras at sensitive sites of railway stations and providing live access from these cameras to suspected terrorists in Pakistan. NIA, after taking over the investigation, found that these five juveniles had conspired with other co-accused to assist suspected Pakistani terrorists in obtaining photographs and videos of sensitive installations, along with their precise GPS coordinates, with the aim to endanger India’s sovereignty, unity, integrity and security. The JCLs had illegally trespassed into, approached, and accessed prohibited/sensitive areas of vital importance, NIA investigations further revealed. They had provided active support in installing spy cameras, and transmitting sensitive information, including photographs and videos with geo-tagging, to suspected Pak-based terrorists. The juveniles had also facilitated suspected Pak-linked terrorists in procuring and using Indian SIM cards for carrying out terror activities on Indian soil. Investigation against the remaining arrested accused and other suspects in the case RC-01/2026/NIA/LKW is continuing.
