| - ISRO espionage case was a now-disproven allegation of espionage made by Indian investigation agencies in the 1990s against some employees of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Various Indian intelligence agencies and the Kerala police arrested these employees on charges of attempting to sell confidential documents containing indigenous rocket engine designs developed by ISRO. The fake case halted the growth of Indian space agency by almost 20 years and brought down the growth of scientific achievements in space research by India by several decades. The victim scientist Nambi Narayanan, who would have been the next ISRO chairman, pointed at the United States and its spy agency CIA in fabricating the case, thereby preventing India from entering into multi-billion dollar commercial space missions. Indian National Congress politicians A. K. Antony and Oommen Chandy led 'A' group caucus inside the Indian National Congress in Kerala, senior Kerala Police officials like Raman Srivastava, Siby Mathews IPS and a daily news paper from Kerala, Malayala Manorama played a vital role in making up the story and in spreading the propaganda of the spy case against ISRO Indian scientist Nambi Narayanan. Later, the Central Bureau of Investigation concluded that there was no case to be made and the Supreme Court of India stopped the Kerala government from pursuing further investigation. The political fallout from the case caused K. Karunakaran to resign as chief minister of Kerala. The ISRO employees, who had been subject to arrest, pursued redress in courts, with Nambi Narayanan being awarded around Rs 1.9 crores in total as compensation. In 2021, the Supreme Court ordered a probe into the actions of involved police officers, who filed counter-suits alleging corruption on the part of CBI investigators. Siby Mathews IPS was the fourth accused in the espionage fabrication case and accused of ordering the torture of Nambi Narayanan. He is fighting a case in the Supreme Court against a CBI plea to cancel Mathews's anticipatory bail in the fake case. (en)
