Navy war room leak: Court allows ex-naval officer to go abroad

A special court has allowed a former navy officer, facing trial in the 2006 Naval War Room leak case, to go abroad for 25 days but asked him not travel to London where prime accused Ravi Shankaran, who has been absconding, is learnt to be living.<br/><br/>Special CBI Judge Sanjeev Aggarwal granted the relief to ex-naval lieutenant Kulbhushan Parashar who sought permission to travel to several countries including France, Spain, Russia and Greece from June 4 to July 1 for meetings and exploring business opportunities.<br/><br/>The court said Parashar will not be permitted to stay abroad beyond the permitted time and shall not seek extension on any ground, including medical. <br/><br/>The 2006 Navy War Room leak case involves leakage of over 7,000 pages of sensitive defence information from the Naval War Room and the Air Headquarters, having a direct bearing on national security.<br/><br/>Parashar is facing trial along with four accused, including three former Naval officers.
