ISRO spy case: How espionage mixed with vested interests ruined a scientist's career and halted India's space project

“Actually their target was ISRO and they succeeded in preventing the country from developing the cryogenic engine,” Narayanan, who was Project Director of Cryogenic Engine when he was implicated in the case, said.

“If ISRO had achieved cryogenic engine technology, the organisation would by now have been in a position to return to government billions of dollars,” he said referring to the commercial aspect of the technology. The main objective of those behind the case was clear and it was to ‘demoralise’ Indian scientists, he pointed out.
