In what is turning out to be a case of industrial espionage, investigators believe Ravi Inder Singh, the Director in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) who was detained by the Delhi Police on Monday, could have been leaking information to telecom companies through an acquaintance called Vineet. Sources said some of the information made available by the 1994-batch West Bengal cadre IAS officer to Vineet — who runs a food processing unit in Bengal — could have been accessed by Chinese companies doing business in India.
Sources said Singh was in constant touch with Vineet, who was acting as a “broker” on his behalf. Vineet was arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell from a five-star hotel on Monday evening. During the five-month-long investigation by the Special Cell and the Intelligence Bureau, it was established that Singh was using five mobile phones, all of which have been recovered by the police, they added. The Delhi Police, which has been questioning Singh since Monday under Section 160 of the CrPC, placed him and Vineet under arrest late on Tuesday night.
