An Indian Army jawan was detained last month for allegedly sharing sensitive information with a fake Facebook account that is part of a suspected honey-trap ploy.
ThePrint had previously reported that India & Russia are talking about 5 more regiments of the S-400, but no contracts are to be signed during the Russian president's visit.
