What is the allegation of the investigating agency?
During the hearing of the case in the delhi High court, the investigating agency told the delhi High court that the evidence found during the investigation confirms that Mohsin Khan was playing an important role in this conspiracy through money transactions.

Strict comment of delhi HC
Justice Swarnakanta Sharma in the delhi High court said, "This crime is not against any one person or institution but against the entire nation. When a person gives information about our military structure to foreign agencies due to personal interest or greed, it is not only a crime but also a betrayal of the nation. It should not be forgotten that the countrymen sleep peacefully because our armed forces remain alert. In such a situation, those who try to break this security system cannot be given relief in any way. "
Grounds for not granting bail
The delhi High court clarified that the criteria for granting bail in such cases is completely different from normal criminal cases. While the period of detention and delay in judicial process are usually taken as the basis, in such cases national interest is paramount. Justice Swarn Kanta Sharma said, "This is not just a question of time but a question of national security and sovereignty of the country, such crimes cannot be considered normal in any way, even if it is not murder or robbery..jpg)
