Nambi Narayanan had no role in developing cryogenic engine, say fellow scientists

Thiruvananthapuram: It’s wrong on the part of Nambi Narayanan to circulate a version that his arrest in the espionage case delayed the cryogenic rocket engine becoming a reality and resulted in substantial financial loss to the country, his former colleagues said here on Wednesday. Speaking at a press conference in Thiruvananthapuram, the scientists said they were forced to meet the media as misinformation was being spread through the film ‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect', a film based on Nambi Narayanan’s life which hit theatres recently. The scientists said the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) started the process of building its own cryogenic engine in the mid-1980s. The responsibility for the same was on E V S Namboothiri. The group led by Namboothiri developed 12 volumes. At that time, Nambi Narayanan was in no way related to the project. Later too, when the team led by Jnana Gandhi started work on the engine, Nambi didn’t find a place in the team. In 1993, a pact was entered into with Russia to exchange the cryogenic engine technology. Jnana Gandhi was entrusted to talk to Russia about the details of the pact. A team led by him went to Russia also. However, following US pressure, Russia withdrew from the pact. In December 1993, discussions were again initiated with Russia and the deal was renewed. It was decided to hand over the engine instead of the technology. In November 1994, Nambi applied for voluntary retirement. He found his way out from the cryogenic team...

Indian court offers final vindication for innocent space scientist who was arrested and tortured

Sankaralingam Nambi Narayanan, the former top Indian space scientist who was arrested and tortured in 1994 after allegations he sold space program secrets to Pakistan, has finally had his name cleared and his treatment condemned by the highest court in India. On 14 September, the Supreme Court of India announced its conclusion that the original case against Narayanan was concocted and awarded him 5 million rupees (roughly $70,000) in compensation. The entire prosecution initiated by the Kerala state police was malicious and caused tremendous harassment and immeasurable anguish to Narayanan, the court said. It also ordered the creation of a committee headed by a former Supreme Court judge to take action against the police officials whose actions led to the spying imbroglio. Narayanan and others accused in the episode were declared innocent by a local court in 1996, but a spate of litigation on the matter followed over the next 2 decades. Narayanan says his life was never the same. "The lives of all the accused got shattered and we all suffered silently," he says. Narayanan considers the new court ruling a final vindication. "Although this judgment has come so late in the day, I am really very happy and thankful for it. Whatever I was saying was certified and acknowledged by the Supreme Court that, yes, I am innocent!" Narayanan says. "I had to borrow money to fight the cases [but] I did not want to die being called a spy and wanted to prove my innocence beyond doubt." In ad...

The Supreme Court on Friday set ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan in an espionage case. The espionage case, which involved multiple conspiracies, centered around seven people, who were accused of leaking out vital defense secrets. Broadly speaking, this was not a single case, but a series of cases that involved new characters as it unfolded over time. But, what is the case about, who is Nambi Narayanan, and why is it being talked about today? We explain. What is the ISRO spy case and how did it begin? The The case was initially probed by Inspector S Vijayan. A special team headed by DIG Siby Mathew arrested Narayanan and other accused. The case was that Narayanan and Sasikumaran had passed on secret documents to other countries, especially Pakistan. They accused Chandrasekhar, Sharma, and inspector-general of Kerala police Raman Srivastava of passing on secrets of the Aeronautical Defence Establishment, Bangalore. They alleged that Chandrasekhar, Sasikumaran, and the two Maldivian women had met secretly to exchange papers and money. The arrested scientists were grilled by Intelligence Bureau sleuths, including Gujarat-cadre IPS officer R B Sreekumar, who was then IB additional director in Kerala. Who is Nambi Narayanan?
