  • The Samba Military Spy Scandal was a cold war military intelligence program which eventually emerged as a scandal in 1979. According to the Indian Army, the military program was run by the MI of Pakistan to seek information on the Indian Army's deposition in Western India. The Indian Army and associated intelligence agencies led the arrest of 50 active duty Army officers and personnel on suspicion of working for the Military Intelligence of the Pakistan Army from Samba in the northern union territory of Jammu & Kashmir. Samba, Jammu is a sleepy town in the Jammu region bordering Pakistan. The revelation of scandal led to a serious breach in foreign relations of India and Pakistan. Between 24 August 1978 and 23 January 1979, 50-odd persons who had worked in the 168 Infantry Brigade and its subordinate units at Samba, 40 km from Jammu on the international border, were arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan at the instance of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (MI). Its investigations involved practically the whole officer cadre of the Brigade. Those arrested included a Brigadier, three Lieutenant Colonels, and a number of Majors, Captains, Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs), Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs), and personnel of other ranks, plus 11 civilians who had worked in the Samba sector. They were all taken into custody at the instance of two self-confessed Pakistani spies who worked as gunners in the Indian Army - Sarwan Dass and Aya Singh. (en)
