&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Officials Secrets Act has its roots in the British colonial era. This was brought in with the main objective of muzzling the voice of a large number of newspapers that had come up in several languages, and were opposing the Raj&amp;rsquo;s policies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Delhi police has arrested a strategic affairs analyst and two others &amp;ndash; a 30- year-old Chinese woman and her &amp;ldquo;Nepalese accomplice&amp;rdquo; &amp;ndash; under the Official Secrets Act (OSA). The police claimed that Rajeev Sharma, the analyst, had passed on information such as the deployment of Indian troops on the border to Chinese intelligence officers. The other two have been arrested for allegedly &amp;ldquo;supplying him (Sharma) huge amounts of money routed through hawala channels for conveying sensitive information to Chinese intelligence&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* What is the Official Secrets Act?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;OSA has its roots in the British colonial era. The original version was The Indian Official Secrets Act (Act XIV), 1889. This was brought in with the main objective of muzzling the voice of a large number of newspapers that had come up in several languages, and were opposing the Raj&amp;rsquo;s policies, building political consciousness and facing police crackdowns and prison terms. It was amended and made more stringent in the form of The Indian Official Secrets Act, 1904, during Lord Curzon&amp;rsquo;s tenure as Viceroy of India. In 1923, a newer version was notified. The Indian Official Secrets Act (Act No XIX of 1923) was extended to all matters of secrecy and confidentiality in governance in the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It broadly deals with two aspects &amp;mdash; spying or espionage, covered under Section 3, and disclosure of other secret information of the government, under Section 5. Secret information can be any official code, password, sketch, plan, model, article, note, document, or information. Under Section 5, both the person communicating the information and the person receiving the information can be punished.&lt;/p&gt;

The police claimed that Rajeev Sharma, the analyst, had passed on information such as the deployment of Indian troops on the border to Chinese intelligence officers. The other two have been arrested for allegedly &amp;ldquo;supplying him (Sharma) huge amounts of money routed through hawala channels for conveying sensitive information to Chinese intelligence&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* What is the Official Secrets Act?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;OSA has its roots in the British colonial era. The original version was The Indian Official Secrets Act (Act XIV), 1889. This was brought in with the main objective of muzzling the voice of a large number of newspapers that had come up in several languages, and were opposing the Raj&amp;rsquo;s policies, building political consciousness and facing police crackdowns and prison terms. It was amended and made more stringent in the form of The Indian Official Secrets Act, 1904, during Lord Curzon&amp;rsquo;s tenure as Viceroy of India. In 1923, a newer version was notified. The Indian Official Secrets Act (Act No XIX of 1923) was extended to all matters of secrecy and confidentiality in governance in the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It broadly deals with two aspects &amp;mdash; spying or espionage, covered under Section 3, and disclosure of other secret information of the government, under Section 5. Secret information can be any official code, password, sketch, plan, model, article, note, document, or information. Under Section 5, both the person communicating the information and the person receiving the information can be punished.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/what-is-official-secrets-act-6603218/&quot; title=&quot;https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/what-is-official-secrets-act-6603218/&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Officials Secrets Act has its roots in the British colonial era. This was brought in with the main objective of muzzling the voice of a large number of newspapers that had come up in several languages, and were opposing the Raj&amp;rsquo;s policies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Delhi police has arrested a strategic affairs analyst and two others &amp;ndash; a 30- year-old Chinese woman and her &amp;ldquo;Nepalese accomplice&amp;rdquo; &amp;ndash; under the Official Secrets Act (OSA). The police claimed that Rajeev Sharma, the analyst, had passed on information such as the deployment of Indian troops on the border to Chinese intelligence officers. The other two have been arrested for allegedly &amp;ldquo;supplying him (Sharma) huge amounts of money routed through hawala channels for conveying sensitive information to Chinese intelligence&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* What is the Official Secrets Act?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;OSA has its roots in the British colonial era. The original version was The Indian Official Secrets Act (Act XIV), 1889. This was brought in with the main objective of muzzling the voice of a large number of newspapers that had come up in several languages, and were opposing the Raj&amp;rsquo;s policies, building political consciousness and facing police crackdowns and prison terms. It was amended and made more stringent in the form of The Indian Official Secrets Act, 1904, during Lord Curzon&amp;rsquo;s tenure as Viceroy of India. In 1923, a newer version was notified. The Indian Official Secrets Act (Act No XIX of 1923) was extended to all matters of secrecy and confidentiality in governance in the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It broadly deals with two aspects &amp;mdash; spying or espionage, covered under Section 3, and disclosure of other secret information of the government, under Section 5. Secret information can be any official code, password, sketch, plan, model, article, note, document, or information. Under Section 5, both the person communicating the information and the person receiving the information can be punished.&lt;/p&gt;
