Monitoring Desk: The Iran-Israel War has unfolded several secrets, such as that the Israeli Iron Dome was just a cliché and could not intercept every missile. This factor was exposed globally in the first two days of the Iranian attack. One of the unfolded interesting secrets is that Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval ran a strong network within the Middle East since the early 1990s.
Dovel’s 11 years in the NSA Office and controlling Indian politics at the age of 80 is quite miraculous because he is not only a spymaster in India, rather a toolkit of Israeli operations within the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Indo-Pak subcontinent. The 1968 Kerala batch IPS officer Ajit Doval is known for his aggressive foreign policy towards Pakistan and China, but his main job of influence in the Middle East and Central Asia had been a secret for many.
He gained fame among intelligence circles for being a rickshaw puller who entered the Golden Temple and returned with crucial information, including the actual strength and positions of the terrorists inside the shrine, and his information was used to kill thousands of Sikhs during Operation Black Thunder I, which was started on 30 April 1986. He was the first IPS officer who was awarded the “Kirti Chakra” for his role in killing Sikhs and for the success of “Operation Black Thunder”. Intelligence circles claim that it was the time he was picked up by Israel for future assignments.
He got coaching classes in Punjabi, Urdu, Arabic, and Farsi in the early 1990s, and got connected with the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. Known as “The Avenger” by Israeli intelligence networking, Dovil established his contacts in Iran, Iraq, and within several Gulf countries in the early 1990s, although his official job within IB was focusing on the region (India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka). He was successful everywhere because he was backed by information being provided by the world’s top intelligence agencies through Mossad whenever he needed information about adversaries. While sitting in New Delhi, his contacts are everywhere—from the Middle East to Central Asia. Intel circles in India claim that he operates at the heads of state in the Middle East, Gulf countries, as well as in Central Asia. His involvement with Central Asian and Middle Eastern non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and Think Tanks is mostly facilitated and arranged by Mossad, and this networking is his main asset.
While working in Pakistan undercover, Dovel got engrossed deep in Pakistan, sharing information to foreign intelligence agencies, consolidated his career and ultimately brought him to the rise that he is enjoying today within India, where he is considered the strong man in the country who decides the fate of not only politicians but also businessmen. However, the last month was not a good time for him when the deep involvement of an Indian spying network working for Israel was unearthed by the Iranian intelligence network, which tracked his past and his linkages with Mossad. There is a saying in intelligence networking that “a compromised man is no more an asset but rather a burden and responsibility,” and there is no doubt that the intense involvement of Ajit Doval in Iran has compromised his reputation. Moreover, the networking that he has been using to manipulate events within Central Asia as well as in Pakistan has mostly been busted and purged by Iranian intelligence, as it had been harming Iranian interests as well.
Several writers wrote about the rise of Ajit Doval, stating it was unprecedented, but could not find the answer to who was behind his rise to absolute power; the answer had emerged during the Iran-Israel War. A man who is an asset of the Israeli intelligence network Mossad can go beyond the reach of even his own Prime Minister Modi, who has practically become his slave and cannot say “no” to him, even sacrificing his political allies.
