DRDO scientist Pradeep Kurulkar has been charged under the Official Secrets Act for disclosing missile systems and classified projects to a Pakistani intelligence operative. Kurulkar was in contact with the operative, who used the alias 'Zara Dasgupta', through WhatsApp, voice calls, and video calls. The operative claimed to be a software engineer based in the UK but was traced back to Pakistan. Kurulkar stored classified information on his personal phone and shared it with 'Zara'. They were in contact from June 2022 to December 2022, and Kurulkar blocked 'Zara's' number just before an internal probe was initiated.
