Sobhraj discussed his 2003 arrest from a casino in Nepal, his time in Delhi’s Tihar Jail from 1976 to 1997, and the books and movies that were released during that time in the conversation. But Sobhraj was most forthright about his alleged efforts to arrange the release of the IC-814 passengers who had been kidnapped. He talked about his encounters with Masood Azhar, the leader of Jaish-e-Mohammed, about his long conversations with the late Jaswant Singh, the country’s foreign minister at the time and the person who ultimately drove the terrorists to Kandahar, and about the undertaking, he obtained from Masood’s party that the hostages wouldn’t be hurt.
His assertions were deemed to be extremely overstated when top intelligence sources were questioned later.
Now that Charles Sobhraj, the master of cunning, is prepared to leave for freedom at the age of 78, it’s possible that the world will hear directly from him about the anecdotes, assertions, and conspiracies that make up Charles Sobhraj.
