I was a RAW spy, says Surjeet

Wearing a crisp white kurta-pajama, adorned with a black turban, Surjeet Singh reached the Wagha Border where his family received him on his return to home after 31 years of imprisonment in the Lahore Jail.

“I was a RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) agent. No one bothered about me after I got arrested. Don’t ask me too much,” Surjeet told the media after reaching Indian side of the border.
