RAW official denies Chinese link

(October, 08, New Delhi, Sri Lanka Guardian) A Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) official, who has been recalled from Sri Lanka for his suspected connection with a foreigner woman, on yesterday, Sunday, denied the allegation.

When asked about media reports that he was involved with a woman with Chinese connection, Ravi Nair said that ''It is utter rubbish.''

''We are all dedicated people working for the Government of India and that will always continue,'' the 1975 batch RAS officer said.

Nair added ''I have been working with sincerity and dedication and it will always be continued.''

During his posting in Hong Kong, Nair had allegedly met a ''foreigner friend'' (woman) believed to be working for a Chinese spy agency prompting the authorities to ask him to come back.

However, within a brief time the officer was again given a posting in Colombo where the woman also came and started staying with him, raising suspicion, sources claimed in New Delhi.

The officials of other departments, posted at the Indian High Commission, sent reports about Nair paving the way for his recall.
