An Indian journalist held for spying for China is innocent, his lawyer said Sunday, claiming that evidence against him was manufactured after the arrest.
Advocate Adish Aggarwal, the lawyer for Rajeev Sharma, said the latter was taken away from his home on Sept. 14 but the police disclosed his arrest four days later.
Initially, no documents were recovered from him, and evidence was planted by Delhi Police later, the lawyer alleged.
The senior journalist based in the capital New Delhi was arrested for passing "sensitive information to Chinese intelligence."
