As alleged Indian spy faces trial in Germany, Khalistan link suspected

Indian counter-terror agencies are smelling a Khalistan conspiracy in the case of alleged Indian national 'Balvir'—who was accused of spying for Indian intelligence agencies and is set to face trial in Germany.

The federal prosecutors have told a regional court in Germany that the alleged Indian national, identified as 54-year-old Balvir, was spying on Sikh and Kashmiri communities for India's external intelligence agency, R&AW.

It has been alleged that the suspect was working as a spy since 2015 and that he had provided information about figures in the Sikh opposition scene, the Kashmiri movement and their relatives in Germany to his handlers, apparently working at the Indian consulate general in Frankfurt. The trial will begin on August 25.
