PUNE: A scientist working for the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) proper right here has been arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) for providing confidential information to a Pakistani agent, officers said on Thursday.
The scientist was allegedly in touch with an agent of a “Pakistan Intelligence Operative” through WhatsApp and video calls, an ATS official said. It was a case of honeytrap, he added.
The accused, who held a senior place inside the premier defence evaluation institute, was arrested on Wednesday.
“The scientist, by misusing his position, despite knowing that the official secrets in his possession if obtained by the enemy country can pose a threat to the security of the country, provided the details to the enemy country,” an ATS launch said.
An offense beneath associated sections of the Official Secrets Act has been registered with the Kalachowki unit of the ATS in Mumbai and extra probe is on, it added.
