Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said the culprits involved in the suspected corporate espionage case would not be spared.
"I won't rule out any possibility. The investigation is going on and the culprits will not be spared. Delhi Police is investigating the matter, I think it will soon be disclosed how all these things were happening," said Rajnath.
He added that the central government should be commended for revealing the events.
"It should be commended that our government revealed all this that was happening since a long time. Had we not been aware, then these things would never have come to light," he added.
Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had lauded the Delhi Police for busting the espionage racket and added that during interrogation, the police should try to reach the top people who would benefit from the leaked information.
