Indian Army on Monday warned its soldiers to be wary of a suspected enemy spy believed to be targeting officers and Special Forces’ troops. The warning from Directorate of Military Intelligence comes with an Instagram profile which is now defunct. Profiles named ‘Oyesomya’ on Instagram and ‘Gujjar Soumya’ on Facebook have been found suspicious for their ‘dubious credentials’. This could well be an attempt to obtain secret information from gullible personnel.
“She [Gujjar Soumya] claims to be the sister of late Captain Pawan Kumar. She claims to be currently studying as a research scholar in IIT Bombay and that she has cleared IIT JEE 2016 and NTSE 2014,” the advisory read.
