ISI ‘Exposed’: Retired Pak Officer Names 2 ISI Men ‘Involved’ In Pahalgam Attack, One Was Posted In Delhi
Retired Pakistani Major Adil Raja accused ISI officers Haroon Murtaza and Ahmad Arifeen of arming and funding Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists in the Pahalgam attack.
In a fresh twist to the ongoing revelations surrounding the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, retired Pakistani Army officer Major Adil Raja has named two serving officers of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) who allegedly played a crucial role in arming and funding the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists involved; one of them was posted in the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi.
ABP News earlier reported that not only was the Pahalgam attack orchestrated on the directives of the Pakistani military, but also that the Director General of Special Operations in ISI, Shahab Aslam, was in direct contact with the terrorists during the attack.
Now, in a major new revelation, the Pakistani Army’s retired officer Major Adil Raja, who once served in the 18 Horse Regiment, has exposed the names of two more ISI officers—Mohammad Haroon Murtaza and Ahmad Arifeen—who allegedly played key roles in funding and arming the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists involved in the attack. Shockingly, one of them served in the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi until 2021.
Haroon Murtaza and Ahmad Arifeen: The Men Behind the Attack
Adil Raja, now a UK-based investigative journalist, claimed that his former contacts within the Pakistani Army and ISI informed him of the involvement of two key officers—Mohammad Haroon Murtaza and Ahmad Arifeen.
Raja alleged that both were instrumental in supplying “logistics”—a term that included arms, ammunition, and funds—to Lashkar terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam massacre.
Haroon Murtaza had served at the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi until 2021 as First Secretary (Trade and Culture), while Ahmad Arifeen was previously posted in Vienna and now holds a senior role at ISI Headquarters in Islamabad. Sources told ABP News that both now head the ISI’s Unit H, which manages cross-border operations, including links to the Khalistani terror network.
Major Raja further revealed that Ahmad Arifeen currently oversees ISI’s drone-based supply chains that deliver arms and narcotics to Khalistani elements operating in India.
Both officers have long operated under diplomatic covers while conducting covert operations, he said, adding that their current roles place them at the helm of ISI’s cross-border terror apparatus.
These disclosures significantly reinforce claims of the ISI’s hand in destabilising India through proxy warfare and narcotics-fuelled terror funding.
Legal War in UK, But Raja Vows to Keep Exposing ISI
This is not the first time Raja has exposed alleged links between Pakistan’s military-intelligence establishment and terrorism. Since relocating to the UK, he has become a vocal critic of the Pakistani Army and ISI, frequently publishing exposés that implicate the security establishment in regional destabilisation.
In response, ISI has reportedly launched legal proceedings against him in the UK, submitting allegedly fabricated evidence in an attempt to silence him. Despite mounting pressure, Raja says he remains undeterred in his mission to expose what he describes as “Pakistan’s state-sponsored terror machinery.”
While ISI maintains it does not support terrorism or political interference, many observers—both inside Pakistan and globally—believe otherwise. From orchestrating attacks in India and Afghanistan to allegedly playing a role in the ouster of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the rise of Shehbaz Sharif, the ISI’s shadowy operations are increasingly under scrutiny.
