Indian scientist gives away big missile secrets to Pakistani spy
There has been a major uproar in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in the previous few weeks as scientist Pradeep Kurulkar has now been booked for espionage for leaking missile secrets of the country to a Pakistani spy. Pradeep Kurulkar was arrested by Maharashtra anti-terrorist squad on May 3.
DRDO scientist Pradeep Kurulkar was reportedly attracted to a Pakistani Intelligence Operative who had concealed her identity, assuming that of a Hindu woman to lure the scientist to extract secrets about the Indian defence forces.
Now, the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Mumbai has filed a charge sheet against Pradeep Kurulkar, who revealed classified defence information about the Indian missile system to a Pakistani spy who chatted with him after assuming the identity of 'Zara Dasgupta'.
Kurulkar revealed that he had started talking to a woman named Zara Dasgupta, who claimed to be a software engineer based in the UK. They were connected via WhatsApp and voice and video calls as well.
Dasgupta used to send obscene videos and photos to the DRDO scientist, and the two struck up a relationship after which Kurulkar ended up sharing classified information about his missile project and defence systems with her.
