Indian Navy official put on trial for conspiring with Pak agencies

[bhramos]

The court framed charges against Chand Kumar Prasad under provisions of the IPC for conspiring and the Official Secret Act (OSA) and fixed March 15 for recording prosecution evidence in the case. "Vide separate order, order on charge is passed. Let the charge be framed under the provisions of Official Secret Act and 120B IPC," Additional Sessions Judge Daya Prakash said.
The provisions of OSA, for which Prasad was arrested from New Delhi Railway Station in 2010, has been put on trial entails a maximum of 14 years jail term. The court said perusal of the charge sheet, the recovered articles and disclosure of Prasad showed that the charge of spying is made out against him and there was sufficient material to frame charges against him. "As per the concerned agency, these documents were classified documents. Hence charge under"¦ of the OSA is made out," it said.
The judge said, "Whatever accused has done as alleged by the investigating agency, he has done along with other
operatives of Pakistani Secret Agencies. Simply because they are not before this court for facing trial does not absolve the accused from the charge under section 120B IPC. "What is relevant for the purpose of charge under section 120B IPC is that he acted in conspiracy," the court said.
The court rejected the contention of Prasad that he was the sole accused in the case, so he cannot be charged for
criminal conspiracy. The prosecutor told the court that Prasad was in possession of photographs of confidential documents of Indian Navy, having information about its movement and secret operations.
He also said Prasad was having the restricted documents containing the visit schedule of Chief of Naval Operations of US Navy with his staff and another was on the schedule of visit of Union Defence Minister A K Antony on the occasion of launching of indigenously designed third ship of project 15 (Chennai).

Navy official charged with passing intel to Pakistan - The Times of India

From the above link:

Prasad, a mechanic, was arrested by the special cell of Delhi Police in 2010 from New Delhi Railway Station on information that an official of Indian Navy, who was allegedly involved in supplying classified/confidential documents of Navy to Pakistani agencies, would be arriving here in a train from Ahmedabad and would be carrying secret documents.

When Prasad was caught by the police, he was unable to explain possession of certain documents including two diaries having details of Indian armed forces, two mobile phones and three memory cards. The prosecutor told the court that memory cards contained photographs of confidential documents of the Navy. He claimed that during the probe, Prasad had admitted that he used to provide secret/classified documents relating to Indian Navy to agents of Pakistani intelligence agency in Nepal in lieu of which he was given money.

The police alleged that he had met one Pakistani Masoom Alam in November, 2008 and also received repeated calls in February, 2009. Thereafter, he again met them in Nepal in 2009, the prosecutor said, adding that the accused had also stolen some documents from his office.

During that period, the accused received calls from the Pakistan Intelligence Operatives and after fixing a meeting with them, he had supplied the original documents to them, the prosecutor said. He said Prasad had also received Rs 25,000 from Masoom after he photocopied all the documents.

I don't understand....what was his role in the navy ?? How did he have access to the office ?? Good work by army intelligence. But he should have been stopped earlier.

Not really.

There are many non Muslims who have been been arrested and charged and sentenced, who are not Muslims.

When gallantry is discussed, does it become the sole preserve of non Muslims? No.

Therefore, iet us not bring the religious angle to everything, until someone bring up a J'Accuse.

That will help us not to veer off into the realm of irrelevance.

Somehow I feel this is an opportunity missed. These people could be "persuaded" into working as double agents leading to their handlers.
