Islamabad: An Indian nuclear scientist’s laptop with classified nuclear data was stolen from a passenger rail car and is still missing raising serious alarm all over India.
According to a report the Indian nuclear researcher raised an alarm when his laptop, reportedly filled with critical data, was stolen on March 15, 2012 and remained missing till date.
India Blooms News Service reported that the scientist, who is reportedly involved with the Kaiga atomic power plant in Karnataka, demanded that train officials find his laptop and other stolen personal effects that included identifying documents. It is believed that the laptop contained secret nuclear codes and possibly the blue-print of Kairga Atomic Plant.
The report added that Thiruvananthapuram-bound train was stopped and several passengers were searched and interviewed but the laptop could not be found. Rajdhani Express was forced to have emergency
halt at Ratnagiri Station (Maharashtra) when a nuclear scientist’s laptop containing vital information was stolen.
According to latest reports despite emergency search raids conducted on train it did not turn up any clues as to what happened to the stolen laptop.
Law enforcement officials have opened an investigation into the matter and began detaining potential perpetrators.
The scientist who was not named for secrecy and classified works told Police that he had also lost very important credential papers. Indian railway officials have confirmed that a report has been lodged but other senior police officials were trying to hide the scandal-like incident and advised journalists not to overplay the issue.
IT SEEMS PEOPLE WHO ACCUSE OTHERS THAT THEIR NUCLEAR ASSETS ARE NOT SAFE AND VULNERABLE TO TERRORIST ATTACKS ARE 'THEM SELF' CARELESS ENOUGH TO COMMIT SUCH BLUNDERS WHICH CAN COST OPEN THREAT TO THEIR OWN NUCLEAR ASSETS.
