India has lodged a protest with the US, accusing it of using an
initiative against internet crime as a cover for spying.

The protest follows the arrest of three senior officials - representing
India on the cyber security forum - for maintaining "unauthorised
contacts" with a US diplomat, the Indian Express reported.

The officer of India's external intelligence agency, the Research and
Analysis Wing, and two others from the National Security Council
Secretariat, were booked under the Official Secrets Act after
confessing to meeting the US diplomat without approval.

The intelligence officer, arrested last Thursday, has also admitted to
having 10 portable computer memory devices, the report said.
