Complimenting the Delhi Police for unearthing the corporate espionage racket, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said it should now target the “top people” benefiting from the leak.

“Compliments (to the) Delhi Police for busting espionage racket. During interrogation, police should try to reach top people, who would benefit from leaked info,” he tweeted.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) yesterday demanded setting up of a commission to probe the matter in a time-bound manner.  The party has often been at loggerheads with the Delhi Police. In his earlier stint as a Chief minister, Kejriwal had staged a dharna outside Rail Bhavan demanding action against police officials in three different cases, of which one was related to a rape of a foreign national.

Five senior executives from top energy firms and two consultants are among those arrested in the sensational corporate espionage scandal in which classified documents including an input for upcoming budget speech of the Finance Minister were allegedly leaked.

With this, the total number of arrests in the case busted yesterday rose to 12.

“We have arrested five persons. Shailesh Saxena from RIL, Vinay Kumar from Essar, KK Naik from Cairns, Subhash Chandra from Jubilant Energy and Rishi Anand from ADAG Reliance,” said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav tonight. The arrests were made in the evening.

According to Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ashok Chand, all these company executives were receivers of the stolen documents which have been recovered by police teams during raids from their establishments.

Saxena is Manager, corporate affairs, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL); Chandra is senior executive, Jubilant Energy; Anand is DGM, Reliance ADAG; Vinay is DGM, Essar and Naik is GM, Cairns India.
