The 79-year-old former scientist, who was given a clean chit by the CBI in the case, maintains that the Kerala Police had ‘fabricated’ the case
The scientist was arrested when Congress was heading the government in Kerala. The panel, after investigation, submitted its report in a sealed cover to the apex court recently.

Nambi Narayanan: The fake spy scandal that blew up a rocket scientist’s career
Imagine your life being changed by a single dramatic moment. This is what happened to a top scientist in the Indian space programme, when one day, 25 years ago, police officers knocked at his door.
“The moment
One winter afternoon a quarter of a century ago three policemen arrived at a house in a narrow lane in the southern Indian city of Trivandrum, the capital of the state of Kerala.
The officers were polite and respectful, Nambi Narayanan remembers.
They told the space scientist that their boss, a deputy inspector general of police, wanted to talk to him.
“Am I under arrest?” Mr Narayanan asked.
“No sir,” the officer said.
It was 30 November 1994. The 53-year-old scientist led the Indian space agency’s cryogenic rocket engine project, and was responsible for acquiring the technology from Russia.
Mr Narayanan walked out to the waiting police vehicle. He asked whether he should sit in the front or the back – suspects were usually dumped in the back seat.
The policemen asked him to sit in the front, and the Jeep rolled out of the lane.
When they arrived at the police station, the boss wasn’t there, so Mr Narayanan was asked to wait on a bench. Policemen gaped at him as they passed by.
“They had that look as if they were looking at someone who had done some crime,” Mr Narayanan says.
He waited and waited. The boss didn’t turn up.
As night fell, he dozed off on the bench. When he woke up next morning, he was told he was under arrest.
A scrum of journalists had arrived, and within hours newspapers were describing him as a traitor – a man who had sold rocket technology to Pakistan, after falling into a honey trap set by two women from the Maldives.
His life was never the same again." source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-4...70
It’s a national shame. How can one country treat its eminent scientists as traitors. Why won’t people with big brains flee this country?
