Three Indian Air Force Officials have been booked for spying

The CBI has filed two separate complaints under Official Secrets Act against three Indian Air Force officials for indulging in anti-national activities.

Retired Air Vice-Marshal J S Kumar, Sergeant K C Saini and retired Wing Commander Y S Tomar are the three officers.

The CBI conducted a thorough investigation, which revealed that the accused people were allegedly giving out secret and sensitive information from the Air Force headquarters connected with various air force contracts and other vital information.

The complaint alleged that Kumar, with the active support and help of Saini working in the purchase section (foreign purchase) of the air head-quarters, obtained classified information pertaining to IAF from a serving Squadron leader (decoy of Indian Air Force) whom he had paid Rs 50,000 for collecting the information.

The accused persons were caught red-handed while accepting the classified documents.

Tomar collected classified information pertaining to air headquarters and MoD in respect of crash fire tenders and secret contracts between India and Russia.
