ISRO espionage case: CBI's chargesheet reveals what went wrong against scientist Nambi Narayanan | DETAILS

India TV News  

The Central Bureau of Investigation, in its chargesheet, said the 1994 ISRO espionage case, in which former space scientist Nambi Narayanan was falsely implicated, was allegedly created by a then special branch officer of Kerala police to justify his illegal detention of a Maldivian woman in India after she spurned his advances. The central probe agency filed a chargesheet in the last week of June but became public on Wednesday against five former police officers for allegedly implicating Narayanan and five others, including two Maldivian women, in the espionage case. In the charge sheet, the CBI has said that its probe revealed that the espionage case was an "abuse of law right from the initial stage" when Maldivian national Mariyam Rasheeda was detained illegally and framed for overstaying in the country for allegedly spurning the advances of Vijayan. The Kerala police had registered two cases in October 1994 after Maldivian national Mariyam Rasheeda was arrested in Thiruvananthapuram for allegedly obtaining secret drawings of ISRO rocket engines to sell to Pakistan.
