Alarming Twist In DRDO Espionage Case: Pakistani Female Agent Targets Another Officer
Pune, 10th May 2023: Senior DRDO Scientist Pradeep Kurulkar’s custody with the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) came to an end on Tuesday, but new and alarming details have surfaced regarding his role in jeopardizing India’s national security. Shockingly, it has been revealed that Kurulkar disclosed classified information pertaining to BrahMos, Agni, and anti-satellite missiles to Pakistan.
The ATS has conducted an extensive investigation into Kurulkar’s espionage case, and the findings will be presented to the court.
According to officials privy to the investigation, Kurulkar was targeted in a honey trap operation orchestrated by Pakistani intelligence operatives. He was lured by a woman named Zara Das Gupta, a name provided by Pakistani intelligence. Through explicit conversations, the operative ensnared Kurulkar, who was even planning to meet her in London last year. However, the trip was abruptly canceled, although they continued to stay in contact.
The details of Kurulkar’s alleged espionage activities have raised serious concerns regarding national security. The extent of the damage caused by his actions is yet to be fully assessed.
The findings of the investigation conducted on scientist Kurulkar at DRDO have been reported to the Prime Minister and the relevant department. Additionally, it has been revealed that the same Pakistani female agent attempted to extract similar information from an intelligence officer. Startling revelations have emerged from Kurulkar’s records, including the presence of the officer’s name in his call list. As a result, the ATS has seized the officer’s mobile phone and is currently investigating whether the officer indeed provided confidential documents.
Kurulkar, a resident of Kothrud, was arrested on May 3. After his police custody remand ended, he was produced before the court yesterday. The court has extended his custody till May 15.
