The Bombay High Court has recently held a significant hearing related to national security, concerning Dr. Pradeep Kurulkar, a senior scientist and director at the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in Pune. The court has reserved its decision on Dr. Kurulkar's bail application as he faces serious accusations of espionage for Pakistan. He was arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad in May 2023, with the prosecution arguing that he misused his position to share sensitive information about national security. The defense, however, contends that the information in question was already available in the public domain, challenging the prosecution’s narrative.
