| 2019-11-23 | |
| [DW] They are charged with spying on Sikh opposition and suspected Kashmiri separatist groups and passing on the information to India's external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing. The trial of two Indian citizens accused of spying on Kashmiri and Sikh groups in Germany and sharing information with Indian intelligence agents began on Thursday at the Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt. Manmohan S., 50, and his wife, 51-year-old Kanwal Jit K., were charged with foreign secret service agent activity in Germany. Starting in January 2015, Manmohan is accused of obtaining information on Kashmiri separatist and Sikh groups operating in Germany and passing it on officials of India's external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW ... India's Research and Analysis Wing, Pakistain's equivalent of the Boogie Man... ), posted at the Indian Consulate in Frankfurt. From July 2017, his wife Kanwal Jit is also suspected of taking part in the intelligence gathering. In return for their service, the couple reportedly received a total of €7,200 ($7,974) from RAW. While the trial begins on Thursday, further hearings are scheduled up until December 12. If convicted, the couple may be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.

| #5 Manmohan Singh and Kanwaljit Kaur. In Sikhs, every lady's a 'Kaur'. They are alleged to have been paid a As I said. R&AW are cheapskates ! Who knows, the handler could've pocketed thousands himself ! If the allegation is true, which is highly unlikely. There's realistically no information worth $7000, which a family would risk life imprisonment or death for, in this business. Sikh khalistani groups like the Babbar Khalsa operate wherever there are Sikhs from Canada to China; I'm sure you have them on file. One can spot them by their militant ways and secretive communities. Also, they'll hound Indian dignitaries or pro-Indian journos and politicians and even ally with islamists as and when it suits them, especially for arms and ammunition. Worthy adversaries, but. Unlike muslims. |

| #4 You wouldn’t happen to know their full names by any chance, John Frum? I like to have that in the record in case a report using the full name comes across my screen. |

| #2 Could really be a case of another Indian family getting them into trouble because their LCD is bigger. "I've seen that Manmohan with strange people wearing sunglasses at night." "Are you sure they weren't just Indian rappers ?" "Okay. How about his wife. New earrings every week. Bitch ! She's highly opinionated and informed for an indian wife ! The other day she was saying muslims are bad..." |

| #1 accused of spying on Kashmiri and Sikh groups The R&AW is so fucking stingy and mismanaged. Why can't they recruit muslims to spy on muslims ? Poor middle aged sikh couple are expected to do everything by themselves ? |
