It is being investigated by appropriate government agency, with complete support from the Navy.” The Navy has gone in for a modernization upgrade of four of its eight old Sindhughosh-class diesel-electric submarines, with each costing around Rs 1,400 crore, in Russia as well as India. The Navy, in a statement on Tuesday, said, “The alleged information leak of administrative and commercial nature with some unauthorised personnel has come to light. The investigative agency has also questioned a number of serving officers, who were in touch with the accused.

The CBI has conducted searches in 19 places, including Delhi, Noida, Mumbai and Hyderabad, and has seized some computers and other evidence. “Acting on information provided by intelligence agencies, the serving officer was arrested for allegedly passing on information connected to the modernization refit of the Russian-origin Kilo or Sindhughosh-class submarines to the other accused, who apparently work for some defence companies, in lieu of bribes,” said a source. Among the four other accused, one retired as a Commodore and another as a Commander. The serving officer of the rank of a Commander (equivalent to Lt-Colonel in the Army) was arrested by the CBI from the Western Naval Command in Mumbai last month. There could be some more arrests in the case, and it is unclear as yet if foreign intelligence agencies were involved in the information leak.

The Navy is also conducting an internal inquiry, headed by a Vice Admiral, into the case to probe the information-leak and suggest measures to prevent such incidents in the future. NEW DELHI: A serving naval officer and two retired ones, along with two “private persons”, have been arrested by the CBI in connection with the alleged leaking of confidential information related to the modernization of the Kilo-class conventional submarines.
