Corporate espionage: One more arrested
The arrested person has been identified as one Lokesh, who is an employee of the Petroleum Ministry.
With the arrests of mid level corporate officials, top executives of top energy companies are likely to be questioned by investigators in connection with the petroleum document leak case, media reports said earlier.
Police said on Friday that an input for the Finance Minister’s Budget speech and several key policy documents were recovered from the arrested people.
Police said two diaries seized from former journalist Santanu Saikia and Prayas Jain, a Melbourne-based energy consultant who has also been arrested, were being examined.
The diaries purportedly contain details regarding “illegal business” transactions of Saikia and Jain, police claim.
