The officials said an army patrol noticed the two moving suspiciously at Parmandal Morh near Ratnuchak Military Station and kept a close watch on them.

Two spies, suspected of working for Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI, were arrested outside an Army camp near the Ratnuchak military station in Jammu.

The two arrested spies -- Nadim Akhter and Mushtaq Ahmed -- were held after being caught shooting videos and taking photographs of the Army camp located on the outskirts of Jammu city. While Nadim Akhter belongs to Kathua district, Mushtaq Ahmed hails from Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir.

The police has now shifted the two ISI spies to a joint interrogation centre at Miran Sahib in Jammu.

According to sources, the duo was handed over to the police after the Army interrogated them at the military station.

On Tuesday, an army patrol noticed the duo moving suspiciously at Parmandal Morh near Ratnuchak Military Station and kept a close watch on them.

They were seen taking pictures and videographing the military station and were immediately taken into custody for questioning.

The two spies were in regular touch with their handlers in Pakistan, officials said. The duo shared videos of the Army camp with their Pakistani handlers through WhatsApp, hours before they were taken into custody.

The two spies confessed during the interrogation that they were on the payrolls of Pakistani handlers, sources said. They were given the task to identify vulnerable and weak points at the military installations so that the terrorists can launch fidayeen attack on the Army camps in Jammu region.

Meanwhile, the Army has instructed all its military stations to beef up the security in view of the latest development.
