New Delhi: A Commander-rank serving officer, two retired officials of the Indian navy and two other persons were arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for allegedly leaking confidential information related to an ongoing submarine project in lieu of illegal gratification.
The central probe agency refused to divulge further details of the case, including the name of the serving officer arrested for the leak.
The officials, wishing to remain anonymous, said last month secret action was initiated and the case is related to the upgrade of Russian-origin Kilo-class submarines in the Indian fleet.
As many as 19 locations across Delhi, Mumbai, Noida and Hyderabad have been raided so far in the case. Through these raids, CBI recovered several digital evidence that are being examined.
The CBI accused the Commander of having discussed crucial details about the ongoing modernisation project of Kilo-class submarines with the two retired officers for alleged illegal gratification, an official said.
