The October 11 arrest of Ashley J Tellis, a towering figure in US-India relations, by the US Department of Justice has reverberated with shock and disbelief in diplomatic and strategic circles in Washington and New Delhi.
The DOJ charged Tellis, a 64-year-old India-born strategist, with illegally possessing thousands of classified national security documents and holding unauthorized meetings with Chinese officials, allegations that have stunned observers.
If found guilty, he faces up to a decade in prison.
