Kashmir Singh (born 1941) was a former Indian spy. He spent 35 years in Pakistani prisons, before he received a presidential pardon from Pervez Musharraf. In his early life, he was in the Indian Army approximately from 1962 to 1966. After working for the Punjab Police for a while, he took up spying on a contractual basis at the rate of Rs. 400 per month. Thereafter, he entered Pakistan in the guise of Ibrahim, a Muslim name. Using this name, he checked into hotels and got identity cards during his task. In 1973, he was arrested on the 22nd milestone on the Peshawar-Rawalpindi road by Pakistani intelligence officers. Upon arrest, he was accused of espionage and smuggling but it could not be proved by the authorities. At the time of his arrest, his family included his wife, Paramjit Kaur, and three children under the age of 10.
