Outlook Ex-ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan hails SC order on CBI probe in espionage case https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/exisro-scientist-nambi-narayanan-hails-sc- order-on-cbi-probe-in-espionage-case/2065238 Former ISRO scientist S Nambi Narayanan on Thursday welcomed the Supreme Court direction to handover to CBI the report of a high-level inquiry committee, on the role of erring police officials in the 1994 espionage case against him. Addressing the media here, Narayanan, who was earlier given a clean chit by the CBI in the spy case, said justice will be served once the central agency completes the probe and action is taken based on that report. His reaction comes hours after the apex court ordered that the report of the panel on the role of erring police officials in the espionage case be given to the CBI and directed the agency to conduct further investigation into the issue. "I welcome the decision.. it''s a progress made..," Narayanan said and reiterated that the whole case was a ''fabricated'' one. "It was a fabricatedcrime. It was stated so in the CBI closure report, then the CJM court accepted it and it was pointed out in the first Supreme Court judgment of April 29, 1998, then in September 14 2018 verdict also. The NHRC had also said that. Now the effort is to find who faricated the case," he said. Meanwhile, the BJP hailed the SC decision and said the CBI investigation will bring out the truth about the factional politics of the Congress, which ''destroyed'' the career of Narayanan. In a tweet, Union Minister V Muraleedharan said, "Welcome the Hon''ble SC''s order to hand over the #ISROSpyCase to CBI. Hoping that it will bring out how @INCKerala ''s factional politics sabotaged national interests & destroyed a patriotic scientist, Nambi Narayanan Ji''s career." The top court had appointed the panel in 2018, while directing the government to cough up Rs 50 lakh compensation for compelling Narayanan to undergo "immense humiliation". The espionage case, which had hit the headlines in 1994, pertained to allegations of transfer of certain confidential documents on India''s space programme to foreign countries by two scientists and four others, including two Maldivian women. Narayanan was arrested when the Congress was heading the then government in Kerala. Narayanan, then director of the cryogenic project at ISRO, was arrested along with the then ISRO Deputy Director D Sasikumaran, and two Maldivian nationals. The CBI, in its probe, had held that the then top police officials in Kerala were responsible for Narayanan''s illegal arrest. The case also had its political fallout, with a section in the Congress targeting the then Chief Minister late K Karunakaran over the issue, that eventually led to his resignation. Over a period of almost two-and-a-half years, the panel headed by Justice Jain examined the circumstances leading to the arrest. PTI RRT ROH ROH

Times of India Nambi Narayanan welcomes verdict https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/thiruvananthapuram/nambi-narayanan- welcomes-verdict/articleshow/82090621.cms Former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan has welcomed the Supreme Court decision to have a CBI probe to unearth the conspiracy behind the ISRO espionage case. However, the police officers who investigated the case said they were not heard before finalizing the report by the Justice D K Jain committee. The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the CBI to look into Jain committee report on senior state police officials who allegedly framed Narayanan in the espionage case of 1994. While welcoming the decision, Narayanan said he has been strongly demanding this ever since the SC and national human rights commission had found that “it is a totally fabricate case.” However, he said not just the role of the state police but the role of central intelligence bureau also should be probed to unearth the conspiracy angle. “Those who were questioned in the case and all the police officials involved in the investigation should be brought under the CBI investigation,” he said. Narayanan said he will not single out any officer for the conspiracy. “Let the CBI probe it and submit its report before the Supreme Court. It is a fabricated case and there is high-level conspiracy involved. I was subjected to harassment for no fault of mine,” he added. However, the police officers who had probed the case, although welcomed the CBI probe, alleged that the Jain committee report has been made without hearing them. “The committee not even called me once to take my version. I have registered this protest to the court concerned,” said Sibi Mathews, who was the then DIG and head of the team which investigated the case. S Vijayan, the then circle inspector, said the committee did not do justice to them. “I was willing to depose before the committee and give all the details about the probe. However, the committee did not even call me once. Let the CBI conduct probe, I will provide all the details I have,” said S Vijayan, who was the first to report the case. Two other officers, K K Joshua, the then DSP, and R B Sreekumar, the then deputy director of IB in Kerala, are also involved in the case.
