Review :
‘The author, a senior official of the Indian Intelligence Bureau, who was associated in various capacities in the alleged  ISRO espionage investigation speaks out the truth about what really happened in the so-called ISRO espionage case. The Supreme Court has now declared the case as false and concocted. The author talks about the victimological ill-effects and ramifications, exposing the reality from many hitherto unknown areas. The book will interest anyone concerned with criminal and victim justice.’ "This book should be essential reading for police officers at all levels." "Thomas reveals the long saga of interrogations, investigations and legal battles." "His book is a clarion call to the civil society of India that in sensational issues, it should not be carried away by motivated propaganda."
