Patna, Nov 15 A day after an Indian Army personnel posted at Danapur cantonment was detained for leaking secret information to a Pakistani woman, the Bihar police booked him under the relevant IPC sections for sedition at the Danapur police station.

The Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) of the Bihar police arrested the man for leaking secret information to a Pakistani handler on Sunday.

"The accused confessed that he has shared some information pertaining to army cantonment Danapur during chats with a Pakistani woman," an official said.
