I am just disappointed that such a contingency was not anticipated and our response time was this long. Still better late than never. Hopefully in the future, our response will be a lot faster and more powerful.
These things cannot be anticipated.
An ex-Navy officer who runs a dhow cruise business abroad in another third country (Iran) is as good as any other civilian. He left IN in 2002. But he claims that he will be in service till 2022, which puts his years in service as 21 years. After that he had a business from Iran's Chahbahar port which is close to Pakistani border.
Pakistanis have a penchant for making their captives confess things that aren't even related to their services; especially against RAW, Israel etc.
At the most, we can have a prisoner swap in such situations.
India is yet to have a deep-state concept similar to CIA, Mossad, FSB or ISI.
This was in the making when a moron called Inder Kumar Gujral screwed up RAW's entire deep state network and stopped everything.
After 1997, India had to rebuild virtually 30 years of network again.
These things will take time and therefore, as a warning it is important to remember not to choose a left-leaning PM ever in India's scenario.
Because RAW is in direct control of the PM without any accountability to anyone else.
Its budgets are a secret.
Its reporting structures are a secret.
Its missions are a secret.
....... what is a few secretes between "brothers".
