CHENNAI: Mariyam Rasheeda, native of Maldives who was arrested in connection with the ISRO spy case has raised allegations against former Gujrat DGP R B Sreekumar who was a joint director of the Intelligence Bureau at the time. The supreme court had ordered a committee to look at "appropraiate steps against erring officials" who handled the case on September 14.

“The interrogators showed me photographs of two men and asked me if I knew them. When I said 'no', they asked me to identify them as ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan and Inspector General Raman Srivastava. When I refused to identify these men who I didn't know, one officer lifted a chair and hit me on my left leg. Twenty four years later, a few days ago, I saw the same officer on television, participating in a 2013 debate on the ISRO spy case and I identified him as Sreekumar", Mariam told a private media from an undisclosed location.
