New Delhi, Feb 24 (IANS) A defence ministry employee was arrested here Tuesday for his alleged involvement in the leak of documents from the petroleum and other ministries, police said.
Virender Kumar, employed as a casual worker, was arrested for providing a forged identity card along with a paper with an official letterhead to Lalta Prasad, an accused in the petroleum ministry documents leak.
He was produced before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sanjay Khanagwal, who remanded him to one day's police custody.
Police told the court that Kumar is required for custodial interrogation to unearth the details of fake id card issued by him and use of the ministry's stamp on that card.
Meanwhile, RIL corporate affairs manager Shailesh Saxena, Jubilant Energy senior executive Subash Chandra, Reliance Anil Dhirubahai Ambani Group (ADAG) deputy general manager (DGM) Rishi Anand, Essar DGM Vinay and Cairns India General Manager K.K. Naik were also presented in court.
The court remanded the corporate officials into judicial custody to March 5.
Police said the document was used by Rajkumar Chaubey to prepare a fake permission for his vehicle to project that it was hired by the government.
However, police said no sensitive documents were found leaked or stolen from the defence ministry.
Lalta Prasad, 36, and Rakesh Kumar, 30 - both brothers and residents of Delhi -- along with Rajkumar Chaubey, 39, a resident of Ghaziabad, were arrested Feb 17 night, the day the documents leak from the petroleum ministry was unearthed.
