Bag and baggage

The RAW incident in Sri Lanka has had a fallout unrelated to diplomacy. The island’s Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama has lost a tenant with India recalling RAW agent Ravi Nair for his alleged “connections with a woman foreign national” during his posting at Colombo. While the accommodation was rented out to the Indian diplomatic mission, the lease was signed before the recalled agent took office. Sources suggest that Nair was a “good” tenant and his ouster has come as a shock to Colombo.
