    A secret intelligence report has emerged regarding the nexus between India's intelligence agency RAW, Afghan Taliban's intelligence agency, General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI), and various milit…

    Pakistani security agencies, the BLA-TTP nexus took root around 2025, built on Afghan training camps already operating with backing from Afghanistan’s General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI).

    Acting on direction attributed to Taliban supreme leader Sheikh Haibatullah Akhundzada, the GDI moved to formally weld the BLA to the TTP and other militant outfits, with India’s RAW helping broker meetings to line up outside financing for the BLA.The report says that on May 26, 2026, Mullah Shireen, the Taliban-appointed governor of Kandahar, met with AQIS and TTP representatives to secure backing for BLA operations.

    Three follow-up meetings took place that July: at the first, the GDI pledged full support for BLA activity inside Pakistan; at the second, held at a TTP compound in Kandahar, the BLA reportedly handed over 3.5 million Afghanis to the group Jamat-ul-Ahrar; and at the third, a sit-down between RAW and the GDI chief held outside Afghanistan, a decision was allegedly taken to bankroll coordinated BLA-TTP attacks across Balochistan, with RAW contributing more than 7.8 million US dollars.

    The document also describes an emergency summit convened on August 26, 2026, in Kandahar under the patronage of the Taliban administration, bringing together senior BLA, TTP and al-Qaeda figures, among them Bashir Zeb, Khalil Baloch, Sifatullah Mengal, Anwar Nizami and Majeed Baloch of the BLA, and Hafiz Gul Bahadur, Mullah Mirajuddin, Mullah Asad Waziristani and Mujeeb ur Rehman Gujjar representing the TTP and allied networks.

    BLA representatives raised concerns over manpower shortages, the document says, and were assured that TTP and AQIS fighters, weapons and logistics would be made available across Baluchistan.

    The document further cites a directive from the Taliban’s Directorate of Bait ul Maal Stability, Registration and Supervision ordering weapons, including assault rifles, RPGs and ammunition, released to an outfit called the “Baloch Refugee Coordination Office,” described as a front for the BLA.In perhaps its most explosive claim, the document, showed by the intelligence sources, cites TTP and AQIS fighters are carrying out much of the actual violence while the BLA publicly claims responsibility, a calculated arrangement designed to shield AQIS, a US-sanctioned entity, from international scrutiny.

    As evidence, it points to the September 4, 2026 attack in Ziarat, officially claimed by the BLA but allegedly carried out by TTP.Mullah Merajuddin Farahi, a former TTP figure, is named as the coordinator funnelling manpower, weapons and financing to the BLA, while newly recruited Baloch youth are said to be training at an AQIS facility run by Mullah Obaidullah Asim.

    Pakistan has for years reported that India uses Afghan territory to fund and arm separatist and militant violence on its soil. Islamabad has repeatedly raised this issue at diplomatic forums and backed with dossiers of its own.
