Meet the Pakistan jails spies

Here's an account of the unsung group of people which works behind enemy lines to protect the nation's interests.

New Delhi: For years they have served the country, silently and without question. They are the denizens of a shadowy world where success takes years to achieve and failure often means death. Meet the spies, the unsung group of people which works behind enemy lines to protect the nation's interests.

Many of them are languishing in Pakistan prisons and now a group of former prisoners has moved the Delhi High Court seeking adequate compensation from the government.

Buta Ram(48) is one of the applicants. Before he was caught at the Pakistan border, Ram, who claims to be a former RAW agent, had a wife and two children at home. Having spent 14 years in a Pakistan jail, Ram now wants to be compensated for all that he has lost.

"In the prison, we all felt terribly disowned," Ram said.
