Qatar Government arrested eight Indian Navy Officers under charges of spying for the interest of Israel and India.
These spies’ officers were working in Qatar with a private firm and were providing training and
other services to the Qatar Emiri Navy and have been caught in the month of August 2022 for their involvement in spying, espionage and international terrorism.
Commander (Retired) Purnendu Tiwari Naval Officer played a key role in these activities and was actively involved in transferring data of leading Gulf Muslim country to Israel and India.
The retired officer was honoured with Pravasi Samman Award highest honoured overseas Indian award from Indian President Ram Nath Kovind in 2019.
While working with Qatar defense, security and other Government agencies, the officer has access to classified data and were sharing the sensitive information to Qatar’s adversaries.
India is in a state of denial, just like Kulbhushan Jadhav and so far has not accepted and owned those eight officers.
The news of arrest was released on social media on 25 October 2022 by wife of one of the officer, in which she requested Indian authorities to get them released. Indian Embassy in Doha is aware of this embarrassing act of Indian Navy officers but has not commented on the incident till date.
When we look into history, India has been found involved in Spies activities in many countries of the world. In Dec 2019, Frankfurt Germany court has convicted married couple spying on behalf of Indian External Intelligence Agency, who were gathering information on Kashmiries and Sikhs.
Two Indian Nationals Shihani Mera Sahib and Muhammad Ibrahim Puthan were arrested and convicted on charges of spying for India in Abu Dhabi UAE.
Indian nefarious designs against Pakistan are exposed many times, when its planted agents were arrested red handed with concrete proofs i.e Kashmir Singh, who spent 35 years in Pakistani Jail got presidential pardon and handed over to India via Wagha border on 4 March 2008.
Sarabjit Singh Attwal Indian spy involved in Terrorism and spying activities died in April 2013 in Pakistani jail. He was involved in series of bombing in Lahore and Faisalabad.
Ravindra Kaushik RAW operative served RAW during 1979-83 and later got recruited as officer in Government department in Pakistan was detected and jailed.
Recent apprehension of Kulbhushan Jadhav an Indian Naval Officer in Pakistan has proved that India is involved in dirty and nefarious activities not only in Pakistan but also across the globe.
