Press is a independent institution from government, hence it cannot be 4th estate. AFAIK there is no 4th estate, there are only 3. However, if you want to count a 4th Estate, you can refer 'security forces (armed forces, para-military, police etc)' as 4th estate. If you consider 'intelligence agencies' as part of 'security forces' (which it is) than it qualifies for the 4th estate. Hence the answer is "SECRET AGENCY"
I can say this very confidently (as I am student of Defence & Strategic Studies in Islamabad). SECRET AGENCY being 4th estate is especially true for Pakistan where it comes to plays part in the establishment (which makes major decisions).
