Hello,

There is a system of periodical review of the security provided to persons on the basis of threat inputs received from time to time. It is observed that Ms Tessy Thomas, Scientist H of DRDO, Hyderabad availing police security for last six years.

Heard first time that a vip security is provided to a DRDO scientist. What is threat perception? God knows. This is one more example of misuse of power in DRDO. ……..
