DRDO scientist Pradeep Kurulkar was attracted to the Pakistani Intelligence Operative, who used the alias 'Zara Dasgupta', and chatted with her about Indian missile systems among other classified defence projects, the charge sheet has said.
The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of the Maharashtra police filed the charge sheet against Mr. Kurulkar, who was the director of one of the labs of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in Pune, in a court here last week.
He was arrested on May 3 under the Official Secrets Act and is now in judicial custody.
