Navy war room leak case

The case is about a conspiracy for obtaining information of various purchases to be made by the military. The CBI has filed a charge sheet against Delhi based businessman Abhishek Varma for allegedly conspiring to obtain documents that compromised the country’s sovereignty and integrity. The allegation is that he was handling Indian affairs of Atlas Group of Industries and had received remittances to the tune of Rs. 6.5 cr, ostensibly for paying bribes to defence personnel for obtaining information of various purchses to be made by the military. The compromised defence information contains 369 pages of sensitive procurement-related letters and file notings of the defence ministry.
