Mumbai: A Thane-based engineer arrested for allegedly sharing sensitive information about warships and submarines with a Pakistani intelligence agent has sought bail, saying a prolonged incarceration would “prejudice his personal and professional life”.Ravindra Verma (27), who worked with a defence technology firm, was arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad on May 28. He is currently in judicial custody. In his bail plea, Verma pleaded innocence, contending that the allegations “are subject to proof beyond reasonable doubt during trial”. The probe is substantially complete and primary evidence, including mobile phone containing WhatsApp chats and audio files has been seized, hence his judicial custody was no longer necessary, the plea said. pti
