Spying: Brahmos ex-engineer gets life imprisonment

kk

NAGPUR: Nishant Agarwal, an ex-engineer of Brahmos Aerospace, who was arrested in a sensational case of spying for Pakistan’s ISI, has been awarded a 14-year jail term by a sessions court here on Monday.

Nishant was arrested in 2018 for allegedly leaking sensitive information about India’s Brahmos missiles to the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan in a suspected honey-trap operation.

Besides the 14-year sentence under the Official Secrets Act, Additional Sessions Judge M.V. Deshpande also imposed a fine of Rs 3,000 on Agarwal.

In 2018, the military intelligence and anti-terrorism squads of Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra arrested Nishant in a joint operation. He was arrested after it was found that he had leaked technical information to the ISI.
