Can anyone easily spy in India? The Jyoti Malhotra case has raised a serious question — are our country’s espionage laws so weak that anyone can leak information and the truth remains hidden?

The video explains in detail how such colonial laws are becoming a threat to both the security and transparency of independent India.
