Here's why the spies could be snooping around BrahMos
Did the mole possess vital info?
Agrawal was under surveillance by Military Intelligence, UP-ATS, and Maharashtra Police. "We have found certain secret and ultra-sensitive information on his personal computer. It should not been there on his personal laptop. It violates the provisions of the OSA, and hence he has been arrested," a statement issued earlier said.
Ever since a jawan was arrested in September after allegedly being honey-trapped by the ISI, the ATS was keeping a close watch on fake Facebook accounts of women, being operated from Pakistan, which were in touch with people working in sensitive places.
It is also uncertain what kind of access Agrawal had to sensitive information or the security clearance levels he enjoyed in the company. The UP-Anti Terrorist Squad also raided two other unidentified persons in Agra and Kanpur.
Agrawal was said to be passing highly classified information, including "technological and other details."
The detection and arrest of Agrawal, raises serious questions about the safety and security of India's key strategic installations, including weapons development facilities.
The security agencies will now have to ascertain whether a deep-rooted espionage ring has been nipped in the bud or are there more moles hidden in plain sight.
