An internal DRDO email suggests media reports and the lack of a key official’s signature have led to the reopening of the inquiry Following an exclusive Firstpost report, the probe into the allegations that a retired senior scientist of the Defence Research and Development Organisation was involved in a high-level security breach at BrahMos Aerospace Pvt Ltd headquarters is being revisited. This reporter had accessed an internal BrahMos investigation report that mentioned that Dr Sudhir Mishra, ex-Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of BAPL was allegedly responsible for a major security breach involving confidential files, including Indo-Russian BrahMos files, that may have been of great importance to national security. According to the contents of an internal DRDO email seen by this reporter, this move comes in the light of media reports and the absence of a statement by the BrahMos CEO, who constituted the initial investigation into the “security breach in BrahMos HQ” at that time.
