Details Crypto-Funded Insurgency, CPEC Sabotage, and Influence Operations

A cache of classified intelligence documents, reportedly originating from India’s external intelligence agency, Research & Analysis Wing (R&AW), has been leaked to THE TORCH FILES (https://the-torch-files.com) revealing a highly coordinated campaign to undermine Pakistan’s internal security and strain its regional partnerships. The document—stamped “TOP SECRET”—outlines operational successes, logistical methods, and future directives aimed squarely at destabilising both Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK).

Cryptofinancing and Arms Pipelines
According to the document, R&AW has quietly funneled approximately INR 700 million through anonymous cryptocurrency transactions, routing funds via offshore accounts in Dubai and Muscat. These funds are said to sustain an elaborate supply chain running through Kandahar and Spin Boldak, providing insurgent groups with Type 56 rifles, M4 carbines, SVO Dragunov marksman rifles, M16 assault rifles, improvised explosive device (IED) components, and other munitions.

“Our supply chain remains fully operational, delivering essential munitions to both BLA and TTP alike,” the dossier states, acronyming the Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as primary partners in the campaign.

Targeting the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
The leaked document further describe a disruption campaign against the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The document claims that BLA-led attacks on CPEC infrastructure and Chinese engineering teams have “severely strained” diplomatic ties, delaying key development projects and creating rifts between Islamabad and Beijing.

“Sabotage CPEC infrastructure: intensify coordinated attacks on Chinese nationals, engineering teams, and supply convoys to disrupt construction timelines and provoke diplomatic strain,” the papers order.

Notable Operations to Date
Outlined among the agency’s successes during the first quarter of 2025 are:
– Bannu Army Camp Assault: Orchestrated by the Hafiz Gul Bahadur faction of the TTP, this raid reportedly inflicted heavy military casualties and crippled supply routes within the region.
– Jamia-e-Haqqaniyah Attack: A suicide bombing at a KPK mosque during Friday prayers, intended to deepen sectarian tensions.
– Assassination of Mufti Shah Mir: Identified as an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) collaborator linked to the 2016 capture of alleged R&AW operative Kulbhushan Jadhav, his killing was celebrated in the dossier as a “significant win against ISI counterintelligence.”

However, the leak also acknowledges setbacks. Senior BLA commander Mushtaq Kohi—described as “a crucial R&AW asset” responsible for planning attacks on Pakistani forces and Chinese interests—was reportedly killed in Kabul last month. Despite his death, the files insist that Kohi’s network remains “intact and fully operational under R&AW guidance.”

Psychological Warfare and Influence Campaigns
Beyond kinetic operations, the dossier details a sophisticated psychological-operations wing. Political activists Mahrung Baloch and Manzoor Pashteen are singled out as unwitting “force multipliers,” their legitimate grievances leveraged to erode public trust in Pakistan’s military establishment.

“Mahrung Baloch’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination provides an ideal platform for amplifying anti-Pakistan narratives,” the memo notes, while crediting Pashteen’s Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) with deepening civil–military divides.

Future Directives
The leaked intelligence roadmap sets forth four priority objectives:
1. Escalate Attacks on CPEC: Further disrupt Chinese infrastructure projects and supply lines.
2. Fuel Anti-Military Sentiment: Expand social-media influence campaigns and support protests to weaken the Pakistani military’s domestic standing.
3. Stabilise BLA Command: Reorganise field leadership following Kohi’s death to maintain operational momentum.
4. Eliminate High-Value ISI Targets: Identify and neutralise key collaborators in border regions.

If authenticated, these revelations would mark one of the most brazen admissions of state-sponsored interference in Pakistan’s internal affairs. Islamabad has yet to comment on the authenticity of the documents, and New Delhi has categorically denied any involvement in support of separatist or extremist elements across its western border. As both governments prepare their responses, the leak underscores the fragile balance of power in South Asia—and the shadowy contests that play out far from public view.
