 These agencies have reportedly stepped up their activity in the wake of the self-immolations that have lead to more than 100 deaths in Tibet so far. Fearing “terror attempts” by China, the exile government has also asked its officials to be cautious about “meeting unknown people and eating food with them”. CCTV cameras will also be installed in different departments. Meanwhile, Tibetan officials have claimed the suspected spy Tsering is fully trained in intelligence matters, handling weapons, and physical combat and was a member of China’s People’s Liberation Army. According to them, he was sent to poison two particular Tibetan youth involved in their freedom struggle, especially to terrorise the Tibetan community in India. However, police and Intelligence officials are still interrogating and trying to ascertain the truth about Tsering. An Indian voter identity card and an Adhaar card with the same photograph but different names were recovered from him. Tsering has told the officials that he was “disturbed over the brutality to which Tibetans were subjected in Tibet by the Chinese government and quit the Army to escape to India”.
