New Delhi: In the wake of the corporate espionage scandal, sources on Sunday told CNN-IBN that the Ministry of Defence had uncovered snooping in South Block in February 2014.
According to information accessed by CNN-IBN, a conversation between the then Chief of Army Staff General Bikram Singh and defence minister AK Antony on operational issues including deployment at the Jammu and Kashmir and Rajasthan borders got leaked.
After some time, the same information was intercepted by India's military intelligence in possession of Pakistan's intelligence agency - the ISI which led to a combing and debugging operation in South block.
Action was taken against some government officials. CCTV cameras were also installed throughout South Block which includes the External Affaits Ministry and the Prime Minister's Office.
Meanwhile, former defence minister AK Antony refused to comment on the case, stating that current Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar should be asked about the issue.
