Mole hunt in Team Anna?

Although Team Anna's campaign against corruption has had a tremendous impact as it succeeded in creating a charged atmosphere by channelising the positive energy of people from all walks of life including youth by applying all kinds of management plans, it lacked one thing -- an in--house intelligence system.

"With time, everything fell in place. We had one key issue -- corruption. Later, we established media, marketing, event and other management plans. But for intelligence inputs, we were dependent on the common man, media, police and government machinery," said a member of Team Anna.


Sources in the team claimed they had information that a few people from the group might be government moles and would leak strategies formulated by them. But, as they had no mechanism to catch them, they were helpless.

"We were lucky. Where we failed, someone from outside Team Anna helped us. Even sources in government intelligence and police department helped us indirectly by sharing some information," another associate of Team Anna said.

According to sources, Team Anna had information of Swami Agnivesh's video since Saturday morning. "The information and the video were shared with us before leaking in media, which happened in the afternoon," said a source.
