He was arrested over leaking sensitive information to Chinese intelligence
The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to give its stand on the bail plea of Delhi-based freelance journalist Rajeev Sharma, arrested in connection with a money laundering case linked to alleged leaking of sensitive information to Chinese intelligence. Justice Mukta Gupta asked the agency to clarify in its reply how the journalist was connected with the allegedly illegal financial transactions. “Please tell your [ED] officers to justify the connection with the petitioner. If he is in receipt of money from shell companies, it is an illegal offence. But there has to be admissible evidence to connect him,” the court remarked.
