Bismee Taskin reports:
Weeks after Delhi Police arrested four men suspected of being involved in the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) data leakage case reported two months ago, the four have been booked in a separate case of “data brokering”, ThePrint has learnt.
As reported by ThePrint earlier, police had initially suspected the accused of trying to sell the leaked data involving ICMR and had arrested them based on inputs that they were allegedly advertising it on social media and looking for potential buyers.
