Satendra Siwal was arrested for spying for ISI(Interservice Intelligence) by the Anti-terrorist Squad (ATS) in Meerut Uttar Pradesh. He was working in the Indian Embassy in Moscow.
The city woke to the normal sounds of vehicles: newspapermen, milkmen, office goers, business owners, tourists, etc. It was just another normal day in Hapur, sixty kilometres from the national capital of Delhi. It was true for a teenage boy too who has found the reason for not going to school today however he has not got a reason to go out of home because his reason for not going to school is fever. He restrains himself from going out, but news of police officers coming in front of a person’s home hits his ears. He has no response for it because it doesn’t fulfil his needs.
Minutes later he hears from a known person that he is an ISI agent, he was working in the Indian Embassy in Moscow. His eyebrows raise with shock and curiosity as he has seen in a distant part of India but not in his hometown. His curiosity is like any other emotion that a human gets caught which doesn’t get satisfied until given what it demands. He calls to one of his contacts whose name is Siva and a conversation takes place
