The two suspects were produced before a magistrate's court in Vijayawada, which granted a 14-day judicial custody order against them on Monday. The development marks the latest phase in an investigation that has grown to encompass multiple accused individuals allegedly involved in espionage activities and honeytrap schemes.
The case, which is being probed by local law enforcement, centers on allegations of intelligence gathering through deceptive means. Authorities have indicated that the investigation involves coordination between multiple parties engaged in what they characterize as a sophisticated operation to extract sensitive information.
Detailed information regarding the specific charges against the two suspects and the nature of their alleged involvement remains under wraps as the investigation progresses. The judicial custody order permits law enforcement to conduct further questioning of the accused while keeping them in prison custody.
The remand of additional suspects suggests the investigation is widening beyond initially identified individuals. Authorities have not disclosed the total number of people named in the case or provided specifics about the information sought to have been compromised.
