The tense situation between India and Pakistan began with the Pahalgam attack, which took place on April 22, 2025. Following this, what happened left the entire nation shocked. India’s response with ‘Operation Sindoor’, Pakistan’s counter-attack, and whatnot. After things got a little settled, it was a Haryana-based vlogger, Jyoti Malhotra, who grabbed the attention, as she was arrested with six others on the charges of passing India’s military information to Pakistan.
Amid this, a strong memory about another Indian diplomat, Madhuri Gupta, re-ignited. Madhuri, who served the nation almost for three decades, ended up turning into a spy for Pakistan’s ISI, and what made her do the same, was none other than ‘love’. So, let’s dive deep into Madhuri Gupta’s story.
An Indian low-ranking diplomat, Madhuri Gupta turned into a ‘spy’ for Pakistan after 27 years of serving India
Madhuri Gupta was posted as second secretary at the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, Pakistan. Her duty included analysing Pakistani media and reporting them back to Delhi. She was known for her academic brilliance and reportedly had an interest in Sufi literature along with a deep knowledge of Urdu. Madhuri served the nation for 27 years, and no one could even believe that she would be convicted of espionage.
