Second chargesheet filed against 'spy' Gupta

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police on Thursday filed second chargesheet against spy Madhuri Gupta in Tees Hazari Court after receiving the Forensics Science Laboratory (FSL) report.
The FSL report corroborates the evidence collected during investigation, which had found that "Gupta used five computers in Islamabad for sending information to Pakistan agencies about details of meetings of Indian officials, transfers of officers and observations".
The nine-page fresh chargesheet has also attested a 575-page report of FSL, Rohini. "She (Madhuri) used to send mails to Pakistani agents. We had taken print outs of emails and information sent by her. Forensic report of hard disks confirmed that it was her computers, which were used in leaking information," stated the fresh chargesheet.
Another chargesheet was filed against Gupta, who is in judicial custody, on April 21.
Earlier, the first chargesheet that ran into 700 pages, against Gupta, a former junior diplomat posted in Islamabad since 2007, the Delhi Police had claimed that she was spying for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). She was arrested on April 23, 2010, after Indian government called her back from Pakistan. During investigations, Delhi Police also found that Gupta had come close to Jamshed, her Pakistan-based handler, and she was even contemplating marrying him.
She allegedly passed on all the information of Indian Embassy in Islamabad to Mubashar Raza Rana and Jamshed through 73 mails that were sent between October 2008 and March 2010. Delhi Police had found that Gupta used to operate on her own.
Gupta had used two email ids – sultanrao@gmail.com and madsmiles@gmail.com — for passing on the information. Police seized her personal computer, four CPUs, 39 CDs and 21 floppy disks which were sent to FSL for examination.
Gupta has been charged under Sections 3 (spying), 4 (communication with foreign agents to be evidence of commission of certain offences) and 5 (wrongful communication – having possession of any secret code or password or any sketch, plan, model or note or which is going to directly or indirectly help the enemy) of the Official Secrets Act (OSA).
