Reacting to the arrest of Aijaz Ahmed Mirza, a DRDO employee-as claimed by the Bengaluru Police on Thursday-for his alleged links with terror organisations, the premier Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Friday said that Mirza was not in possession of any classified information.

"He was not involved in any sensitive work and as such no sensitive/classified information has been compromised. Disciplinary action as per GOI rules is being taken,' a DRDO statement said.

The release added that Mirza was associated with DRDO as a Junior Research Fellow. "It is intimated that Aijaz Ahmed Mirza had been placed as Junior Research Fellow for the past few months, at Centre for Air Borne Systems, a DRDO laboratory,' the statement said.

The Bengaluru Police had, on Thursday, arrested eleven people, accused of plotting terror activities in the country.
