WITH the arrest of Ravi Inder Singh, an IAS officer in the home ministry, the focus is back on spying in India.
Singh allegedly leaked sensitive information to telecom companies, which makes him more of a corporate mole than a spy. The big espionage arrest before Singh was that of diplomat Madhuri Gupta, who allegedly leaked security information to Pakistan.
Gupta was arrested in April this year.
The 2008 Mumbai terror attack was allegedly planned by Pakistani spies. The relatives of a rabbi who was was killed with his pregnant wife are now suing the ISI and the Lashkar-e-Toiba at an American court. Pakistani spies also allegedly engineered a suicide attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul. The bombing claimed 54 lives in July 2008.
The Dalai Lama has accused the Chinese government of stealing documents from the Indian defence ministry, and his own office. A Canadian journal reported that spies have infiltrated deep inside the Indian defence establishment.
A blog by Maloy Krishna Dhar, former CBI officer, details some cases involving Indian spies abroad.
In 2004, when the BJP was in power, a think tank in Mumbai said Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence spies on India through madrassas (Islamic schools). It claimed the ISI had 60 centres and 10,000 spies in India.
