Gujarat ATS Operation: Arrest of Jatin Jeetendrabhai Charaniya
Gujarat ATS Police Inspectors received confidential information that Jatin Jeetendrabhai Charaniya (age 21, residing in Subhashnagar, Porbandar) is involved in the fishing business in the coastal region of Porbandar. It was revealed that he has been in contact with a Pakistani agent under the name of Advika Prince for the last four months. Through Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram, he has been passing on information regarding the Indian Coast Guard’s jetties and their vehicles to the enemy nation, Pakistan’s agents, in exchange for money. Furthermore, he has been engaging in activities against the interests of the country.
In light of this information, senior officials of Gujarat ATS sought guidance from Police Inspector Mrinal Shah, Police Sub Inspector D. V. Rathod, and Police Sub Inspector H. D. Vadhere, who have expertise in technical and human resources work. Accordingly, a team from ATS Ahmedabad has been brought in to investigate the matter.
During the interrogation, it was revealed that since January 2024, Jatin had been in contact with a Facebook profile under the name of Advika Prince. Advika Prince’s profile holder, claiming to be a woman, was known to Jatin Charaniya as residing in Porbandar, Gujarat, and engaged in fishing. Through regular chatting, establishing friendship, Jatin Charaniya gained Advika’s trust.
As per Advika’s request, Jatin Charaniya messaged her details about jetties and ships in Porbandar. Subsequently, he even made videos of the sea and the ships visible from the Indian Coast Guard’s jetties, sending them to Advika. In return, Advika paid Jatin a total of INR 6000 in installments. Following Advika’s instructions, Jatin Charaniya initiated chatting on Advika’s Telegram account.
Verification and Further Investigation: Jatin Charaniya and Pakistani Female Agent Advika Prince
Upon verification of the above information, it was found that many chats between Advika and Jatin Charaniya on Facebook Messenger and Telegram accounts had been automatically deleted within 24 hours due to privacy settings. Jatin Charaniya, as per Advika Prince’s request, had also sent videos and details about Indian Coast Guard ships through Facebook Messenger. Additionally, Jatin Charaniya has deposited a total of INR 6000 in small amounts into Advika’s bank account. Furthermore, following Advika’s instructions, Jatin Charaniya had also engaged in chats on her WhatsApp account, which was operated from Pakistan.
Based on the above information and evidence, it is evident that Jatin Charaniya and Pakistani female agent Advika Prince have been exchanging sensitive and confidential information related to the resources of the Indian Coast Guard in a clandestine manner. Consequently, Gujarat ATS has registered a case under ATS PS 3/24 IPC sections 121-C and 120-B against them and is conducting further legal proceedings.
