When some of us call someone in our country, an Indian agent, without giving solid reasons behind it, I would have more reason to believe that they are trying to hide their own crimes/wrongdoings, and tactics like this are common in our society where anybody who hints at problems in some institutions can easily be believed by gullible people in our coutnry to be an indian agent, because of their childish belief in integrity of these institutions. No institution in our country is like a group of angels, and they are a sample from our society and it is good to criticize them and this criticism should be accepted or refuted by using logic. Calling someone an Indian agent as a response to criticism, should rather make us believe that they have no better logic to give us to refute the criticism.

History tells us that in many many old countries/states, when they employed people to protect themselves, those employed became kings themselves, and even if they did not, they started to truly dictate the affairs of the states against the will of kings/people/nobility of the state. Ottoman kings, despite all their power, were afraid to do anything that would in anyway, annoy janissaries. The list of similar examples can continue forever. This is a simple progression of something that always continued in humanity.
