Seven Navy personnel, hawala operator arrested for having links with Pakistan
2019-12-21
[HindustanTimes] The Andhra Pradesh police on Friday claimed to have busted an espionage racket with links to Pakistan and arrested seven personnel of the Indian Navy in this connection.

A release from police said the Intelligence wing in concert with Central Intelligence agencies and Naval intelligence launched Operation Dolphin’s Nose and unearthed the espionage racket.

“An FIR has been lodged and seven Navy personnel and a hawala operator have been arrested from different parts of the country. Some more suspects are being questioned,” the police release said.

Investigation is on, it added, without further details.

Police sources here said those arrested were being produced in court on Friday.

#3  Theoretically, the Navy Act,1957 has only the death penalty for treason, jpal. The guilty is given a choice of firing squad or rope.

They should hang, but they probably won't. After a court martial, the espionage cases will drag on for a decade and some humanist bastards will help them escape with a 10-20 year sentence as a civil crime or something. Or, some scapegoat will be found and shall likely suffer their sentence.

That's just my assessment though. I shall open up a bottle if they actually were given death.
