THE GREATEST THREAT TO A NATION’S SECRETS OFTEN COMES FROM THOSE TRUSTED TO PROTECT THEM ...
A businessman accused of running a ring that bribed government officials to
steal classified files from the PMO and other ministries.
A high-ranking R&AW officer who vanished into thin air one day and
popped up in the US, one of India’s most embarrassing intelligence breaches.
A case where war plans somehow became bedtime reading for foreign arms
dealers and put India’s maritime modernization plans under a microscope.
The diplomat who thought “sharing is caring” applied to classified docs too.
The case exposed how ideology, personal ties and isolation can be weaponized.
Four cases with four different motives—greed, ambition, lust and love. And one lesson: the deadliest traitors don’t always lurk in shadows—sometimes they sit at the desk next to you.
How did the betrayers manage to evade arrest? How did the Indian intelligence agencies trap them? And most importantly, why did they betray their country? Aarati Dutt Shah’s Sex, Lies and Pen Drives attempts to answers these and other questions that had the Indian security and intelligence establishment in a tizzy.
