THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Welcoming the Supreme Court direction to hold a CBI investigation into the role of police officers in the 1994 espionage case against him, former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientist Nambi Narayanan said the CBI must expose the conspirators behind the case.
“I’ll get justice only when action is taken based on the findings in the investigation. I had sought a CBI investigation earlier. There is no point if the conspirators in the case are not exposed. Many people are involved in the case and the role of IB officials should also be investigated, he said.
