Turf wars between diplomats and intelligence officers are not unknow
Politicians/ Diplomats love Spies to a point, both love to use each other. Spies need cover, Embassies and Consulates work well for them. Diplomats hate spies taking over already limited seats in foreign countries with the added luxury of diplomatic cover. In there eyes it doesn't seem very 'James Bond'.
And that point? Is the Spy is only useful to the former up until shit hits the fan. And in order to maintain their innocence from engaging as middlemen in the covert world they tend to pull some strings and get the Spy pulled and silenced, gag order (best case scenario). Depending on the spy's connections in his agency, he can keep himself from being 'Iced'.
But other accounts hold that Doval spearheaded the rescue, leading teams into Punjab and taking out one kidnapper after the other.
Sounds like your average Agent Vinod.
Four or five men huddled together in a Delhi hotel room. They were going through travel arrangements. Three of them were to leave for Dubai a little later to execute one of the most audacious operations by Indian intelligence agencies. The plan was to smuggle in two sharpshooters into the Grand Hyatt hotel near Dubai airport. The marriage of the daughter of Dawood Ibrahim, India’s most wanted don, with Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad’s son had been solemnised in Pakistan. A post-wedding feast was being organised at the hotel. Indian intelligence believed Dawood would attend it and saw an opportunity to take him down. The task was outsourced to the Chhota Rajan gang. The calculation was that neither Indian operatives nor Chhota Rajan’s gangsters could have pulled it off on their own; together, they stood a better chance.
Isnt this a plot for some Bollywood movie?
