India's external intelligence service, the Research and Analysis
Wing (RAW) has launched a major internal investigation for possible
moles following the apparent defection of a senior officer
recruited by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
The Indian government fears that the defection of Rabinder Singh,
who held the senior rank of joint secretary and who headed the
agency's Southeast Asia department, is only the tip of the iceberg
in a possible infiltration operation by the CIA and Mossad,
Israel's foreign intelligence service.
The focus of the investigation will be RAW, as well as the
Intelligence Bureau, which handles counterintelligence and the
Defence Intelligence Agency. The mole hunt is expected to extend to
Indian embassies around the world where RAW personnel operate under
diplomatic protection, particularly those who liaise with foreign
intelligence agencies.
According to informed intelligence sources, several Indian
operatives have already been suspended pending investigation. One
senior intelligence official committed suicide on 13 June in New
Delhi, although it is not yet clear whether this incident was
linked to the current Singh investigation.
