A two-member CBI team has left for London to assist British prosecutors in the extradition case of Ravi Shankaran, kin of former Naval Chief Arun Prakash and the main accused in the infamous Naval War Room leak case. AIR correspondent quoting CBI sources reports a two-member team led by a Superintendent of Police left today along with the documents relating to the alleged involvement of Shankaran in the leaking of commercially sensitive information from the War Room of the Navy. After failing to achieve a breakthrough since his arrest on April 21 last year, the CBI got in touch with the UK authorities and Scotland Yard. Shankaran was arrested by Metropolitan Police in London on April 21, giving a ray of hope to the agency for unraveling the conspiracy in leaking of crucial classified information to commercial firms for pecuniary benefits.The CBI, which has gone unrepresented in earlier two hearings, had sought assistance of the Crown Prosecution Services to represent the case in the court for his extradition. The CBI had registered a case on March 20, 2006 against former IAF Wing Commander Sambhaji Rao Surve, Shankaran, ex-naval Commanders Vinod Kumar Jha and Vinod Rana, Raj Rani Jaiswal, Mukesh Bajaj, Wing Commander (retired) S K Kohli, Kashyap Kumar and Kulbushan Parashar.The case against these nine persons was registered under various sections of the Official Secrets Act and Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code. Barring Jaiswal, Bajaj and Kashyap Kumar, charge sheets have been filed against all the others.
