Maharashtra: A DRDO scientist, who was working in one of the facilities of DRDO in Pune, has been arrested by ATS on the charges of espionage. He was found to have had contact with the operatives of Pakistan’s Intelligence Agency through social media via WhatsApp messages, voice calls, video etc. Despite holding a responsible position, the DRDO official misused his post thereby compromising sensitive government secrets, which could pose a threat to India’s security if it falls into the hands of the enemy nation. The Anti-Terrorism Squad of Maharashtra Police, Kalachowki, Mumbai, has filed a case under Section 1923 of the Official Secrets Act 1923 and other relevant sections. Further probe is being done by investigating officer: Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS)
The authorities said that it appears that this is mostly a honeytrap situation. Kurulkar was six months away from retiring when he fell victim to a honeytrap. It was discovered that he had been in contact with a woman connected to Pakistan’s intelligence agency for the previous six months. He exchanged voice messages and video calls with the operators in Pakistan and is suspected of giving them access to certain critical information.
