Delhi Police files case over leak of ex-Army chief’s unapproved book 'Four Stars of Destiny' - India Today
Delhi Police have registered a case following the unauthorised circulation of excerpts from a book authored by former Army Chief General Manoj Naravane. The book, titled Four Stars of Destiny, reportedly reached the public domain before receiving mandatory clearance from the Ministry of Defence. Authorities acted after concerns were raised that the leaked content may have violated official protocols related to defence publications.
