The spy who came in from the cold
He was chained for 17 years and kept in solitary confinement where he got a mug of water daily to drink, wash and clean up.
And as he sits back and in his modest home, reminiscing about his days in incarceration, Kashmir Singh says he never converted to Islam and all he did was enter Pakistan in the guise of a Muslim named Ibrahim.
"I was kept in a dark 7x7 cell and given one pot of water for daily use.
In a contrast that couldn't be sharper, his Italy-based son, Amarjeet Singh, celebrating his father's return from Pakistan, is yet to cork the bottle of imported whiskey ��� to the mild chagrin of his parents.
Arrested on the 22nd Milestone, Peshawar-Rawalpindi road, by Pakistani intelligence sleuths for spying, Kashmir, who confesses doing that for India, spoke to TOI about his long nightmare: Three-and-a-half decades of torture, inhuman conditions and, worse, shackled existence for over 25 years.
"Look at my ankles," he said in Punjabi as he raised his pyjama to show the bruise marks and swelling, a testimony to his chained existence.
