Rohan was hoping for a few moments of peace before heading home, maybe just to sit in silence and let his mind wander.
But that hope was shattered the moment K.N. Rao, the chief of R&AW, entered his office unannounced.
"Rao," Rohan said, surprised by the man's sudden appearance.
Rao wasn't the type to show up without an appointment.
The look on his face tense immediately told Rohan this wasn't a routine briefing.
"Prime Minister," Rao said, not even bothering with pleasantries.
He held a thick file in his hand, his grip tight as though the paper itself could slip away at any moment.
Rohan frowned, sitting up straighter in his chair. "What's going on? You look like someone just walked over your grave."
Rao didn't sit. He remained standing, his eyes locked on Rohan's. "It's bad, sir. Pakistan… they're working on something, something bigger than we anticipated."
