11/16/22, 9:30 AM LawBeat | Delhi High Court denies bail to Nepal citizen accused of passing sensitive information to China

The allegations leveled against Singh are of him being involved

allegedly as a co-director of one of the Chinese companies
through whom the information falling within the ambit of
secret/confidential/sensitive documents was being shared.

Singh submitted that he had been falsely implicated in the

instant case and that he is uneducated, illiterate, is a citizen of
Nepal and has been residing in India for a substantial period,
and had come to India to find a suitable job to cater to the
needs of his family which is totally dependent on him.

However, the State submitted that a report from the Defence

Department of India was sought regarding the
sensitive/confidential documents recovered from the house of
accused Rajeev Sharma whereby a reply was received as “Yes”
and that the documents are classified as "CONFIDENTIAL".

While dismissing the bail application, the Court noted, "There

was a conveyance of documents classified as “Confidential”
being conveyed by the company of which Singh was one of the
co-directors".
