A Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist who was arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) for passing on confidential information to a Pakistani intelligence operative was associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Congress alleged on Wednesday.
Addressing a press conference, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said the arrest of the DRDO scientist, Pradeep Kurulkar, was a “very serious matter” and claimed that it exposed the “anti-national face” of the RSS.
“Pradeep Kurulkar, an active RSS volunteer leader and DRDO’s Director of R&D (Engineering), has been arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad for spying on behalf of Pakistan. The case.... exposes the lie and charade of the RSS being a so-called nationalistic organisation,” Mr. Khera alleged.
