MM Naravane's Memoir Leaked Globally Before Government Approval: Police Probe Coordinated Operation
•Delhi Police investigating leaked PDF of former Army Chief General MM Naravane’s unreleased memoir, "Four Stars of Destiny."
•Investigators suspect a "planned and coordinated operation" rather than simple piracy, as the leaked copy was a typeset edition by Penguin Random House India.
•The memoir, which details Naravane's tenure and the 2020 India-China border standoff, lacked mandatory Defence Ministry clearance.
•An FIR for criminal conspiracy was registered after questions arose about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accessing the unpublished content.
•Authorities are tracking digital trails in the US, Canada, Germany, and Australia, with the first upload traced to a ".io" domain.
