Lama. The Tibetan Administra- tion in Dharamsala is working closely with the local Security offices to thwart any attempts by Chinese spies to create troubles and steal information,” said T.G. Arya, Information Secretary, CTA, in a statement.
“At this difficult time of Coronavirus pandemic, China should pay more attention to contain the domestic health and economic issues, rather than sending spies to India and creat- ing problems at India’s borders.”
However, this is not the first incident that the issue of spying on the Dalai Lama has become national news in India. Chinese embassy had not issued any re- action on this development till the filling of this report.
As the Chinese national ar- rest is in connection to the raids conducted by Income tax au- thorities that comes under the fi- nance ministry, the Minister for finance (MoS) Anurag Thakur when contacted said that things are being dealt by the concerned departments and legal aspect will be considered in future de- velopments.
Sanjay Bhardwaj, intelli- gence official at office of Direc- tor General of Police for state of Himachal Pradesh said that they are keeping an eye on this devel- opment and visit of this Chinese national to this state is a matter of investigation. “We are look- ing at every aspect of this case, this is underway yet” he added.
Former Union minister and Chief Minister, a senior leader of the ruling BJP Shanta Kumar in a written statement to this correspondent said that he had requested the Prime Minister of India and Chief Minister of Hi- machal to order an immediate inquiry in this matter and it rais- es grave concern that from last more than 6 years this person was operating at national capital region.

New Delhi has sounded a kind of alert in exile headquar- ters of Tibetans at Dharamsha- la (Himachal Pradesh). Sang was arrested in connection to the hawala racket of Rs 1,000 crores. Following reports citing involvement of this man in spy- ing over Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama by paying bribes to monks, an alert has been sound- ed here.
The Central Tibetan admin- istration (CTA) is known as the global headquarters of Tibetans living in exile that is situated in the northern part of India about 480 km away from Delhi. It is learnt that crucial closed-door meetings were held address- ing the concern on security of the Nobel peace laureate Dalai Lama, who lives under a tight security at the hamlet famous- ly known as Mcleodganj, also called Little Lhasa, adjacent to Dharamshala.
The Chinese national was nabbed when IT officials were conducting raids on 21 locations at Delhi in connection to the Hawala racket. Now, the en- forcement directorate has also jumped into investigation seek- ing the details of this Chinese national.
Reports say that in 2018 also this Chinese national was arrest- ed in a fake passport case but was released in lack of evidence. He was reportedly married to a Manipuriwoman.Investigations have recovered documents of Lou Sang in the name of Charlie Peng. It includes Adhaar Card and PAN Cards, but officials suspect that the real identity of this person is Lou Sang.

Deputy Speaker of Tibetan parliament, Yeshi Phunstok said that he was saddened hearing these reports that Chinese are spying on the Dalai Lama in this way.
“We always say that we don’t believe on Chinese nationals, they come in the name of busi- ness and work for other selfish motives. It is not only Dalai Lama they spy on Tibetans and Indi-
an authorities also” he added. Phunstok added that, they don’t trust Chinese easily as they have experience that whenever Tibetans hold events in nation- al capital Delhi then they come to that event in the name of the
media.
“We need to remain more vig-
ilant for the Dalai Lama” he said. The CTA has condemned this act of Chinese government of sending Chinese spy to India to spy on India and His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan administration. “Thanks to the strong security measures adopt- ed by the Central and State gov- ernment, till now these Chinese spies have not been able to get close to His Holiness the Dalai
