Bombay High Court Reduces BrahMos Scientist's Espionage Sentence

A scientist named Nishant Agarwal was accused of spying for Pakistan by leaking information about a special missile called BrahMos.

He was originally sentenced to life in prison.

However, the Bombay High Court later said that while he did some wrong things, like keeping secret documents on his personal computer, they couldn't prove he actually sent any secrets to Pakistan.

So, they reduced his sentence to three years, which he has already served.

This means he can go free.

The court said there was no proof that he intended to help Pakistan or that any secret information was actually shared with them.
