Nambi was allegedly accused of sharing private information about India’s space programme with Maldivian nationals. These Maldivians allegedly sold the information about ISRO’s rocket engines to Pakistan. After this, Nambi was kept in judicial custody for 11 days and was accused of violating India’s secret laws, corruption, and other offences.
In fact, there were reports that he was tortured under inhuman conditions. He even went through the lie-detecting test but the report was never submitted before the court.

Talking about the real story of the film Rocketry The Nambi Effect, and not talking about what happened next, is not right. Well, the CBI took over the case a month after his arrest. He was released on a bail on January 19, 1995. Later in 1996, the charges against him were dismissed by CBI and later by the Supreme Court in 1998.
Likewise, ISRO also conducted an internal investigation and concluded that no drawings of cryogenic engines were missing. So, if you still have more questions about who is Nambi Narayanan or what is the real story of the film Rocketry The Nambi Effect, then don't waste time, go and watch a movie.
