RAW agent waits for compensation even after 19 years
Jalandhar, April 19
He has served India in one of the most difficult ways. He has spied for the country. But Bishan
Dass, a RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) agent, never imagined that his efforts will go in vain.
Even after spending 10 years (from 1978 to 1988) of his life in Pakistan jail, the Government of India has not given him any compensation or reward for spending a torturous term in the hostile country.
