NEW DELHI: In an suspected case of espionage, there was an attempted break-in on Sunday at the Indian Air Force’s Paris office which is overseeing production of 36 Rafale fighter jets for India, military sources said.

A group of unidentified persons broke into the office of the IAF’s Rafale project management team in the suburbs of Paris and local police are probing whether the attempt was to steal classified data relating to the aircraft.
