A Pune court frames charges against a senior Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist under the Official Secrets Act in a case involving alleged leakage of classified national security information. According to the report, the charges are framed nearly three years after the filing of the initial chargesheet. The delay comes after the scientist’s requests for discharge and bail are rejected. The prosecution alleges that the scientist provided sensitive information to a Pakistani intelligence operative. Following the framing of charges, the matter moves to the next procedural stages, with the trial expected to begin after required formalities. The scientist’s legal challenge to being discharged and seeking release through bail is not accepted, and the case proceeds in court. The reporting does not describe the specific documents or communications involved, but centers on the allegation of sharing classified information with a foreign intelligence contact and the application of the Official Secrets Act. The court’s order sets the framework for the trial going forward.
