From Sarabjit to Jadhav: A history of Indian spies in Pakistan

[GDP Adil Khan Niazi]

The Indian spy who has been sentenced to death, Kulbhushan Jadhav, is the most recent individual to be tried on espionage charges, but Pakistan and India have a long history of arresting and trying 'spies'.

Sarabjit Singh
Sarabjit Singh was arrested by Pakistani authorities in August 1990. At the time, India said that an inebriated 27-year-old Singh had strayed across the border while ploughing his field.

He was arrested on charges of carrying out four bombings in Faisalabad, Multan and Lahore which killed 14 Pakistani citizens. He was later sentenced to death.

Singh was fatally assaulted on April 26, 2013, by two fellow prisoners in Kot Lakhpat jail. Singh suffered severe injuries in the head and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Lahore’s Jinnah Hospital where a medical board comprising senior neurosurgeons treated him.

He died on May 2, 2013. The Indian government conducted a state funeral after his body was brought back to India by his family members.

Kashmir Singh
Kashmir Singh was a convicted Indian spy on death row and spent 35 years in prison in Pakistan. Throughout his incarceration, he insisted he was not a spy. He was arrested in 1973.

Singh was pardoned by then President Pervez Musharraf and returned to India where he was given a hero's welcome.

“I was a spy and did my duty,” admitted Singh after crossing the border, the Press Trust of India news agency reported, adding he was paid about 400 rupees a month for his work.

“I went to serve the country,” he told reporters in Chandigarh after his release.

“Even Pakistan authorities failed to get this information from me,” he added.

Ravindra Kaushik
Ravindra Kaushik was born in India's Rajasthan and was recruited by the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) while working as a theatre artist.

After receiving two years of training, he was sent to Pakistan in 1975, where he enrolled in Karachi University under the alias of Nabi Ahmad Shakir.

After graduation, Kaushik joined the Pakistan Army as a commissioned officer and got promoted to the rank of Major.

During 1979-83, he passed on sensitive information to RAW. His run as a spy ended when another Indian spy was caught by Pakistani forces. The arrested spy blew Kaushik's cover.

Kaushik was incarcerated for 16 years and died in 2001 while imprisoned in Multan Jail after contracting pulmonary tuberculosis.

Sheikh Shamim
Sheikh Shamim was arrested by Pakistani authorities in 1989 and was charged with spying for RAW, reported AFP.

Authorities said he was caught "red-handed” near the Pak-India border while spying. He was hanged by the authorities in 1999.

Ravindra Kaushik is bullshit.

He was a clerk , who was caught and died in prison.

At 27-28 , without any record of his national id,family,native resident.

Back In The Late 1980s When Soviet Union Was Breathing It's Last,ISI Devised A Plan To Infiltrate RAW.ISI Knew That India and Soviet Union Were Extremely Close and RAW Was Under Heavy KGB Influence.Through Certain Contacts ISI Was Able To Get In Touch With KGB Officials With Links To India.

These Were Economically Desperate Times in USSR and KGB Officials Were Also Facing Trying Circumstances.ISI Was Able To Bribe Certain KGB Operatives To Their Side.These Officials Then Provided ISI With A Backdoor Into RAW.

ISI Got It's Hands Onto A Treasure Trove Of Information and Intel Massive Networks of RAW Were Neutralised.

I Know This From A Highly Reliable Source

The Whole Story Is High Grade BS.He Went To Pakistan In 1975 and Enrolled in Karachi University He Took Two Years To Graduate Means He Joined Pak Army In 1977.A Commissioned Officers Is Gets Position of Second Lieutenant After Six Months He Is Promoted To Full Lieutenant.After 2.5-3 Years He Is Promoted To Captain and After Full Five Years Of Service He Is Promoted To Major That Means It Will Take At Least 8 Years For Him To Get To Major.

But The Writer Of This Story Wants Us To Believe That Kaushik Did Everything Within 4 Years(1979-1983)
