The operatives allegedly approached her while posing as academicians. Singh said the case was under investigation.

The woman was "collecting and sharing" sensitive information with foreign intelligence operatives, including individuals linked to China, news agency PTI reported on Sunday.

The accused, who hails from Telangana and currently lives with her husband in Jammu, was questioned by an officer of the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) after an FIR was registered.

According to sources cited by PTI, the woman was engaged in research-related activities that are now under investigation.
