Navy officer sent secrets to Russian wife? Probe on - Times Of India
A Board of Inquiry (BoI) the Indian Navy constituted a year ago is looking into whether a commander-level officer passed on classified information to his Russian wife, sources said. In 2011, when the officer was in India, he communicated with his wife, who was in Russia, through a social networking site, sources said. It was suspected that he may have passed on secrets in such interactions.
The BoI was constituted in January 2012 after the officer, who is attached to the Western Naval Command (WNC), Mumbai , was found to have the classified information on his office computer. The secrets were not supposed to be on the computer, sources said. "The suspicion that some secrets had been passed through the computer was aroused and the Mumbai-based officer , along with two colleagues, was suspended ," said a source. The two allegedly knew the secrets were on the computer.
