Mohanlal Bhaskar was working undercover for Indian intelligence agency RAW when he was arrested in a counter-intelligence operation by Pakistan. He remained in Pakistani jails from 1967 to 1974. In a 1983 autobiographical book titled "An Indian
Spy in Pakistan", Bhaskar says that he took on
a false identity as Mohammad Aslam and had
himself circumcised to operate as a Pakistani
Muslim on behalf of Indian intelligence in
Pakistan. The book was originally written in Hind
as "Main Pakistan Mein Bharat Ka Jasoos Tha"
and later translated into English.
