It's a scandal that has posed uncomfortable questions for the country's diplomatic and intelligence establishment. Madhuri Gupta, second secretary at the Indian High Commission in Pakistan, has been arrested on charges of counter-spying.
Guptastands accused to passing on sensitive information — which she allegedlygot from members of RAW posted in Islamabad — to members of the PakistaniInter-Services Intelligence, sparking off speculation whether she was alone inthis racket or whether there are other Indian agents implicated aswell.
Upon interrogation, Gupta is claimed to have said she did whatshe did because of poor working conditions and loneliness, reasons some criticspoint out are far-fetched. More twists and turns are bound to mark this spy sagaas investigations continue.
