News heading is confusing. It's *actually* about how Indian authorities have arrested an Indian diplomat to TSP on charges of spying for TSP.
http://news.in.msn.com/national/article....id=3864167
I was getting ready to Booo - as I'm wont to do - but then this question began to nag away:
1. is she truly being arrested for being a spy for TSP
2. or is this part of a purge of the old guard/those loyal to the country. After all, enemies are ruling the country (e.g. Manmohan "islamics must have first claim on resources" Singh). And the media is not to be trusted. Neither is the CBI, nor some part of the Maharasthrian ATS, etc.
While names mean nothing anymore - still, it's a *Hindu* name she carries leaving one to wonder - the way one wouldn't need to wonder if it had been an Indian with an islamic name:
- whether she's a *converted* turncoat (since she's of heathen origin - going by her name - she would need to be a *convert* to islamania or have some new-found islamic love-interest tucked away in TSP to make her treachery-arc likely);
- or whether the "let's have closer relations with Pak" christogovt could genuinely be after Indian diplomats spying for Pak, since the Indian govt itself seems to be working for TSP most of the time (and for the US and everybody else except India) so it seems unlikely to give a toss about this 'discovery' which otherwise looks to be in line with their way of working anyway.
How will one ever know whether it is 1 or 2: this news could well die here and none will ever be the wiser.
People have deja-vued the "a police source told the media thus-and-so" before, and things weren't anywhere near the whole truth then.
How much is the "Delhi Police's Special Cell" to be trusted as at now? (Not the last decade, not the last year - but now.)
In other words: To Boo or not?

Indian diplomat in Pak held over spying charges
New Delhi: Madhuri Gupta, a second secretary of the Indian High Commission in Pakistan, was arrested from her home here on the charges of spying for the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), police and official sources said Tuesday.
"The accused Madhuri Gupta was arrested from her house in east Delhi by Delhi Police's Special Cell on charges of spying and leaking some important documents. Before the arrest, she was detained and questioned for 2-3 days," a police source told IANS.
"She was serving in press and information wing of the Indian High Commission in Pakistan for the last couple of years. Her movements were being followed from past several months," he said.
"The woman was produced in the court Monday after which she was sent to police custody," the source added, saying that an official statement on the arrest would probably come from the external affairs ministry.
Other sources said Gupta had been under the scanner for some time and the action was taken after it was confirmed that she was passing sensitive information to her handlers. Gupta was not a member of the main Indian Foreign Service (IFS), but belonged to the lower cadre known as IFS-B.
