For\nsecret- agents or for security personnel on mission, wine, women and money are\nconsidered the ever worst booby-traps. During their professional training, they\nare strictly forbidden to have any relationship with wine, woman and money\nparticularly when they are on some very sensitive assignment. Unfortunately the\nspies and security personnel meet a very tragic ending when they ignore this\nvery sensitive instruction intentionally or unintentionally. We find the\nsituation at its worst when we cast a look at the record-files of the Indian\nsecret-agents and security personnel who somehow or the other were fenced into\nsuch booby-traps. No need of going far back, just look at the record-files of\nthe last five years; there are countless examples of Indian army and\nintelligence officers who were honey-trapped by wine, women and wealth. It seems\na part of their nature and temperament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shivs\nNarayan Chandravanshi, 43, and Arjun Malviya, 35, of Bhopal district in Madhya\nPradesh were arrested by the Ferozepur police in November 2014. They were from\nthe Indian army and at the time of their arrest they were found conducting\nreconnaissance of the cantonment area. During the interrogation, it came to\nlight that the accused were in contact with an ISI agent Jaya Mishra, who had\nhoney-trapped the accused separately. At her instruction they had visited the\nIndo-Pak check post at Hussainwala twice. On 30th<\/sup> August of the same\nyear, the Pathankot police had arrested an Indian Air Force employee on charges\nof spying and selling strategic information about the air force station to a\nwoman, believed to be a Pakistani spy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four\nyears later, in April 2018 the Sonipat police arrested a 22-year-old youth\nGaurav Sharma on spying charges. He was also working with the Indian ministry\nof defence. According to the media reports he was in touch with two women who\nwere allegedly ISI spies and whom he had met on Face book. The arrested young\nman told the investigators that the women lured him with sex chat and later\nasked him to supply sensitive information about Indian defence forces. Sharma\nadmitted that he was in touch with the spy-women for the last one-and-a-half\nyears. Astonishingly the\narrested youth is a son of a retired army havaldar and his mysterious\nactivities were known to his father. The investigation agencies were really\nshocked when they checked the Face book friend-list of these spy-women and\nfound a lieutenant-general, three colonels, three majors, a captain, a commander,\na sergeant, an NDA trainee and a jail superintendent in Jammu and Kashmir. These\nofficers are still posted in various states like Himachal Pradesh, Haryana,\nPunjab, Rajasthan, New Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From\nthe Jodhpur railway station a few weeks back, two Indian soldiers were taken\ninto custody. They were also accused of sharing crucial information with a\nPakistan-based woman ISI agent. According to the details the jawans from the\nIndian army were going to their village from Pokhran when intelligence\nofficials took them into custody. They were taken to Jaipur from Jodhpur where\nthey are still being interrogated. The Indian investigation officials confirmed\nthat jawans were sending crucial information after falling in a honey trap of\nPakistani woman. All such news covey three different messages to the world; the\nfirst one is that Pakistan has a very strong ability of intruding the Indian\nboundaries; second is that the defence mechanism of India is so poor and so\nweak that anyone could destroy it and the third message is that Indian army\npersonnel are so weak in morality that they could sell their national secrets\nto the hostile countries for the sake of their trivial desires. However the\nauthenticity of all these incidents is called in question by different\nanalysts. They are of the opinion that all these incidents of women-spies are\nnothing but intentionally concocted stories published and projected by the RAW\nsupported media houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On\nthe basis of these fishy stories, India has ever been dreaming of defaming\nPakistan and creating hurdles for it at different international forums like\nFATF, though it has never been successful. In all such efforts of stamping\nPakistan as a terrorism exporting country, India simply turns a blind eye to\nthe agents like Kulbhushan Jadhav who is now in Pakistani custody and his case\nhas already been decided by ICJ in favour of Pakistan. It is not only Kulbhushan,\nthere are countless other terrorists also who were sent to Pakistan by the\nIndian authorities to create law and order problems for Pakistan. According to\na news report in the last few months Pakistan has arrested many RAW operatives\ninvolved in anti-state activities and their cases have been sent to the courts\nfor further legal proceedings. However projection and promotion of such\nfalse-news items about Pakistani women-spies is a proof of Indian acceptance\nand admittance that Pakistan has a very strong rather \u2018muscular\u2019 potential of\nreaching and hitting the \u2018heart-core\u2019 of the Indian defence system. From\nPakistani point of view, this admittance is a matter of pride but for India it\nis vice-versa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
