Renowned Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist, Pradeep Kurulkar, faced a setback as the Pune sessions court rejected his bail application on Thursday. The Maharashtra ATS had arrested Kurulkar in May for allegedly leaking confidential information related to sensitive defence matters, such as satellite missiles and various DRDO projects, to a Pakistan Intelligence Operative (PIO) after being honey-trapped.
