"The jawan befriended a woman on the social networking site Orkut, who offered him money in exchange for state secrets. When officers in the Air Force caught him , they court-martialed him and handed him over to us," Kausal added.

The accused had enlisted in the Air Force in 2008 and had been transferred to Pathankot in 2010.
