Indian police arrest Defense Ministry staff for helping steal gov't documents

Xinhua, February 24, 2015 Adjust font size:

Indian police have arrested a casual worker employed at the Ministry of Defense for helping some thieves steal confidential documents from government ministries, said local media Tuesday.

The man was allegedly involved in providing forged identity card to a key accused in a Petroleum Ministry leaks case, while police maintained that no sensitive documents were leaked or stolen from the Defense Ministry.

With this, 14 people have been arrested in the corporate espionage case related to the Petroleum Ministry, while one person was arrested Monday on charge of leaking confidential documents from coal and power ministries.

Police said the case belongs to a corporate espionage in which some private corporations paid the thieves for getting confidential information. Endi
