ISRO conspiracy case: Ex-DGP Siby Mathews gets anticipatory bail

Thiruvananthapuram: Former Kerala DGP Siby Mathews was on Tuesday granted anticipatory bail by a court in Thiruvananthapuram in the case registered by the CBI in connection with the illegal arrest of former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan and two Maldives nationals in a 1994 spying case, reports PTI. The relief was granted by Principal District and Sessions Judge P Krishnakumar and advocate V Ajakumar -- who appeared for Mathews confirmed this. The order was also confirmed by advocate Prasad Gandhi, who had appeared for the two Maldivian nationals -- Mariyam Rasheeda and Fouziyya Hasan. The detailed order is awaited. Both Narayanan and the two women from Maldives had opposed granting any relief to Mathews. Recently Kerala High Court had granted anticipatory bail plea to three former police officers and a retired Intelligence Bureau (IB) official in the same case. CBI had lodged the case against Mathews and 17 others, including IB officials, for various offences like criminal conspiracy and kidnapping and fabrication of evidence, under the IPC in connection with the arrest of Narayanan and the two Maldives nationals The Supreme Court had on April 15 ordered that the report of a high-level committee on the role of erring police officials in the espionage case relating to Narayanan be given to the CBI and directed the agency to conduct further investigation on the issue. The three-member committee, headed by former apex court judge Justice (retd) D K Jain, was appointed by the top court in 2018 after acquitting Narayanan in the case. The Supreme Court had also directed the Kerala government to pay Rs 50 lakh as compensation for compelling Narayanan to undergo "immense humiliation". PTI #IsroCase #SubyMathewsISroSpycase
