Jammu Court Denies Bail to Bengal Man Accused of Spreading Defence Secrets

The Jammu and Kashmir High Court rejected a bail plea on Tuesday, ruling that the West Bengal resident accused of passing sensitive defence information should remain in custody. The petitioner, whose identity has not been disclosed, was charged with transmitting classified data to an unidentified third party. In its order, the court highlighted that allowing the accused to leave could jeopardise national security and set a dangerous precedent. The decision means the case will proceed without the benefit of bail, and the accused will continue to be held pending further hearings.
