Brijesh Kumar to the Rescue of Indian BPOs

CHINA HAPPY ABOUT INDIA's BPO WOES.
By SarbaJit Roy: Now its the turn of Chinese News Agency Xinhua to gloat over India's BPO woes whilst India's Top IT Bureaucrat Mr. Brijesh Kumar issues pathetic little statements saying that "the law will take its course". That is exactly the sort of dynamic sound byte needed to reassure foreigners that all is well in India. BPOs OUT !!! Take off to CHINA -- PLEASE !!


NEW DELHI, June 29 (Xinhuanet)--The Indian Government said Wednesday that it was looking into the issue of alleged leakage of data from a web marketing company employee to an undercover reporter of a UK daily in a sting operation and asserted that guilty would not be spared.

"We are finding out the truth. The case is being looked into by us relating to the allegation of 'classified' data leakage. After inquiry if anybody is found guilty, existing law will take its own course. Nobody would be spared... But we would not do anything prematurely... Let the inquiry be over," Brijesh Kumar, India's Informational and Technology Secretary said.

However, he did not specify any time-frame for the on-going investigation.

Karan Bahree, an employee of the India-based web marketing firm,was at the center of a storm involving leakage of credit card information, after he admitted to handing over a CD to the reporter of the British tabloid The Sun, but claimed he did not know that the information contained in the CD was classified.

His company Infinity e-search, which has already sacked him in the wake of the controversy, said that Bahree, in his explanation letter, had said he was offered a job and 5,000 US dollars by the UK daily in return of a presentation information contained in a CD.

The local police are also looking into the case.
