Indian court sends 5 corporate officials to police custody over corporate espionage

Xinhua, February 21, 2015 Adjust font size:

A court in the Indian capital on Saturday sent five corporate officials from unnamed companies to policy custody for three days, after they were brought before a judge over alleged corporate espionage.

The Indian police have arrested 12 people since last week over the leakage of confidential document from some key ministries and a part of a 2015-16 budget inputs to corporate entities.

The document was allegedly stolen by some government employees and their collaborators from a tight security government complex in central Delhi.

The case has shocked the country and the government has vowed to leave no stone unturned to find out the culprits.

The suspects were caught after being followed for weeks by security service personnel, said local media. Endi
