New Delhi: Three days after the Delhi Police busted a corporate espionage ring over leak of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas document, trade body Assocham said the only way to rid India of such cases is by removing the secrecy regarding decision making.
In a statement released, the organisation has questioned why key documents can't be made available publicly.
Assocham Secretary General DS Rawat said, "Why should the government decision-making concerning policies which have a bearing on the corporates be shrouded in secrecy. Let all the policies be first put up on the websites as drafts and let all the conflicting interests debate, deliberate and slug it out by their legitimate arguments right in the public view."
Meanwhile, five corporate employees accused of procuring documents fraudulently have been sent to three days in police custody. Police have told the court that the documents pertain to national security and may slap the official secrets act on the accused.
Sources said that Intelligence agencies have been warned by the Prime Minsiter's Office to strictly probe officers involved in the leak.
