    A high statistics data sample of the decays of K + mesons to three charged particles was accumulated by the OKA experiment in 2012 and 2013. This allowed to select a clean sample of about 450 events with K + → π + π - π + γ decays with the energy of the photon in the kaon rest frame greater than 30 MeV. The measured branching fraction of the K + → π + π - π + γ , with E γ ∗ > 30 MeV is equal to ( 0.71 ± 0.05 ) × 10 - 5 . The measured differential branching fraction over photon energy is compared with the prediction of the chiral perturbation theory to O ( p 4 ) . A search for an up-down asymmetry of the photon with respect to the hadronic system decay plane is also performed.
