The petitioner, involved in the manufacture of drones for the services, registered the crime on December 25, 2024, accusing its three former employees – Prabhat Sharma, Anirudh Putsala and Akash Patil – of stealing data and starting their own company, compromising the security of the nation. The accused conspired to steal sensitive proprietary information for the benefit of a rival firm called Lenviz Technologies, where they are now employed, it alleged.
The alleged stolen information pertains to cutting edge UAV, the complaint stated.
During the hearing, it came to light that the accused were not taken into custody despite bail not granted to them. After an interim order on March 20, 2025, the police visited Noida and arrested the accused. They later issued a notice to the accused under Section 35(3) of the BNSS to appear for inquiry, which was to be done before the arrest. The court was informed that they disappeared after the notice was issued.
Noting that the notice after the arrest is the first needle of suspicion on a fake investigation being conducted, the court appointed a court commissioner, who visited the residence of the accused, Prabhat Sharma.
The Court Commissioner reported that during the seizure procedure at Prabhat’s place, a technical staff member, Manoj, received continuous phone calls from individuals claiming to be a DCP from Jaipur and an ACP from Bengaluru.
“They tried to interfere with the operation and instructed us to vacate the premises, warning of unusual circumstances. The ACP from Bengaluru specifically enquired ‘what are you doing with a group of 12-14 people at the raid location despite being informed by DCP Jaipur to vacate the premises?” the court commissioner stated.
