Former DGP arraigned as accused in ISRO police frame-up case
A district court in Thiruvananthapuram has granted anticipatory bail to retired Director General of Police Siby Mathews in a “police frame-up” that arguably resulted in the infamous “ISRO spy scandal” case in 1994. Last month, the Central Bureu of Investigation (CBI) had indicted Mr. Mathews for the alleged wrongful arrest, custodial torture, and unjustified incarceration of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientist Nambi Narayanan and others in the case. Mr. Mathews had headed the Special Investigation Team. The CBI had also arraigned subordinates of Mr. Mathews, K. K. Joshua, S. Vijayan, and Thampi S. Durgadutt, for the “flawed prosecution”. It also named the then Deputy Director, Intelligence Bureau, R.B. Sreekumar, a suspect.
