Recently, a poignant reminder of the disruptive potential of deceptive narratives came to light when a man climbed the walls of the Indian embassy in Afghanistan. This bizarre incursion, which led to the intruder's death, focused attention on the evolving tactics of terrorist organizations such as the ISI. Indeed, it seems that the Pakistani intelligence agency is cultivating a new brand of infiltrator, one who is adept at hiding in plain sight and exploiting the vulnerabilities of their targets.

Our investigation reveals that the ISI has been utilizing a sophisticated 'shadow network' in the Kartarpur corridor, a shortcut to the iconic Gurdwara Darbar Sahib opened by India and Pakistan in 2019. The suspect at the center of this network, Jyoti Malhotra, reveals the disturbing extent to which the ISI is manipulating people for its own ends. From his background as a member of a local Sikh sect known for its pro-Pakistan stance to his recent activities in India, we see how the ISI has exploited his skills and beliefs for its sinister purposes.

However, our exclusive interviews with former intelligence officers offer a glimmer of hope. They suggest that Malhotra's story, disturbing as it is, also highlights the cracks in the ISI's wall of deception. These reveal the agency's reliance on proxies and its failure to evolve its approach to espionage. Although it remains to be seen whether the ISI will adopt more sophisticated methods, our story highlights the fragility of the terrorist organization's tactics.
