Shocking...

Disgusting!

The National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), the country’s premier technical intelligence agency set up after the Kargil intrusion, is already under the scanner of the Supreme Court for a slew of alleged irregularities. The latest is a shocking case of officials using secret service funds to illegally film their women colleagues in the toilet.


This happened three years ago but has surfaced only now. It’s been learnt that some women staffers who worked in NTRO’s temporary office in Hauz Khas in New Delhi, complained about a spycam fixed in their toilet with the feed from the camera being accessed by a computer manned by the agency’s counter-intelligence and security unit.

The National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) is a premier apex scientific organization under the National Security Advisor in the Prime Minister's Office, India.[1] It was set up in 2004.[2] It also includes National Institute of Cryptology Research and Development (NICRD), which is first of its kind in Asia.

The organization does hi-tech surveillance jobs, including satellite monitoring, terrestrial monitoring, internet monitoring, considered vital for the national security apparatus.

And we thought these officers were appointed to protect out country.

Was there none to monitor them?

How do they select these candidates?

Sad indeed!

  3. really shameful. Technology could be used for both god and bad deeds. Depends on the people who handle it.

    Thanks for sharing it.

  4. Anil: :) yes..they did.. but is this not a classic example of morality or the lack of morals?

    Renu: Yes.. Renu, there seems to be no checks and controls at all. Freaks are allowed to take up important posts.

    Abhi: Yes.. technology can be bad.. but then is this not becoming too common these days?

  5. Totally off-topic; thought of sharing something:
    One topic that educated Indian women never discuss is spirituality. (I sense that they have very little tolerance for it, don't know why). This is surprising since almost every white woman I know brings up some spiritual question or the other. And then I found this piece:

    Indian Christianity : In search of the Christ within by Suma Varughese
