摘要

本文探讨了桑巴间谍丑闻，以了解印度的反间谍和机构间情报协调。1979年，数十名印度军事情报官员因担任巴基斯坦间谍而被捕，这一丑闻被公开曝光。这篇文章审查了被告男子向巴基斯坦情报部门出售情报的供词，以及他们后来如何说这些供词是虚假的，是在酷刑下提供的。然后，它描述了高级情报和军事领导人对这些人是无辜的怀疑，以及十年后巴基斯坦间谍的一份重要声明。然而，2014年最高法院的一项裁决正式“打上”了间谍的标签，让他们没有任何洗清罪名的希望。这篇文章分析了主要消息来源、采访、新闻报道和法院裁决，得出的结论是，这起丑闻暴露出印度军方反情报工作不力，缺乏机构间合作。

Decoding the Samba spy scandal:false spies, counterintelligence and military intelligence in India

ABSTRACT This article explores the Samba spy scandal to understand Indian counterintelligence and inter-agency intelligence coordination. The scandal publicly emerged in 1979 when dozens of Indian military intelligence officers were arrested for being Pakistani spies. The article examines the accused men’s confessions of selling information to Pakistan’s Field Intelligence Unit and how later they said the admissions were false and provided under torture. Then it describes senior intelligence and military leaders airing their suspicions that the men were innocent as well as a significant statement from a Pakistani spy a decade later. However, a 2014 Supreme Court ruling officially ‘stamped’ the men spies without any hope for clearing their names. The article analyses primary sources, interviews, news articles and court rulings, concluding that the scandal reveals poor Indian military counterintelligence and a lack of inter-agency cooperation.
