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.

The court remanded the corporate officials into judicial custody to March 5.

However, police said no sensitive documents were found leaked or stolen from the defence ministry.
