Hi All,

Below given news in todays Hindustan Times reflects the greed of our RAW officers.


"RAW man was US spy; has defected "

Chandan Nandy
New Delhi, May 28

Ravinder Singh, a joint secretary in the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) who had been missing since May 14, is believed to have been spying for the US. He may have defected to America.

Singh, who was being watched by RAW’s counter-intelligence wing for the past one month, came under suspicion after a ‘slip’ by a US diplomat working under cover at the American embassy. The US official, on a routine liaison session with RAW officers, happened to mention Singh’s name.

It led RAW to mount a counter-surveillance operation. Singh’s phones were tapped and a spy camera was fitted in his office at RAW headquarters. The spy-cam showed Singh photocopying top-secret documents and other operational details of the country’s external intelligence agency, which he is believed to have later passed on to his American handlers.

While the agency is trying to establish what secrets Singh compromised, what is clear is that the spy fled while RAW dithered.

When RAW’s bosses discussed the issue with a former top security official, they were asked not to proceed against Singh legally.

That split the RAW hierarchy. While one group wanted immediate action against Singh, another refused to give the green light for Singh’s arrest. The time lost gave Singh the opportunity to make a quiet getaway. Sources said his US handlers may have assisted him in his escape.

They said Singh would host dinners and parties for several colleagues from whom he tried to procure secrets.

Submitted as an eye opener !

interesting piece.

I believe that some 4-5 yrs ago there was another scandal with raw where some officers were alledged to have been passing over secrets to pakistan and china. I personally believe that there is corruption in every dept...in india and RAW is no different.

I was also amazed to learn about the army scandal on kargil.

I only hope we dont have too many of these bad apples in our system.
