New Delhi: Ex-Brahmos Aerospace engineer Nishant Agarwal has been handed life imprisonment by a Nagpur court on charges of spying for Pakistan’s ISI. To recall, Agarwal was arrested in 2018 on charges of leaking information about Brahmos missile to Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI.

In 2018, Agarwal, who was working as a senior systems engineer at the BrahMos Aerospace facility in Nagpur, was arrested by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Uttar Pradesh Police.

The ATS had alleged that it found evidence of him chatting on Facebook with Pakistan-based IDs. He was arrested after conclusive evidence was gathered, it had said.
