description: "Ravindra Kaushik was an Indian Research and Analysis Wing agent who spied for India from 1975 until he was captured in 1983. Also known as 'The Black Tiger', Kaushik is considered as one of India's greatest spies. He worked as a clerk in the Pakistan Army's Military Accounts Department. He was exposed after a botched communication attempt by another operative. Arrested and interrogated, he was sentenced to death in 1985, later commuted to life imprisonment. He spent 16 years in various prisons and died in 2001 while incarcerated."
