LUCKNOW: After the arrest of two employees of two ordnance factories in Uttar Pradesh for sharing confidential information with Pakistan's ISI over the past ten days, more people were now under the watch of security agencies, said senior UP Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) officials.

They said the agencies were scanning the social media profiles of staffers of facilities that manufacture arms and ammunitions, oil refineries and defence installations to ensure that they were not honey-trapped by ISI personnel masquerading as women looking for friendship on Facebook or other social media platforms.
