Pakistan arrests 10 RAW facilitators in Punjab, Sindh which were reportedly planning attacks on key sites.
Karachi Police announced on Wednesday that they had arrested four local fishermen suspected of spying for India’s intelligence agency, RAW. The suspects are accused of transmitting images of sensitive military locations to Indian handlers in exchange for money, liquor, and arms.
According to Karachi’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) Senior Superintendent of Police Shoaib Mehmood Memon, the arrests were made in coordination with intelligence agencies during a joint operation.
Memon revealed that the suspects were paid Rs. 100,000 to 150,000 per trip (equivalent to around $525) and were assigned tasks such as filming sensitive sites and monitoring access routes to key military installations. Authorities also recovered grenades, firearms, and a vehicle. Forensic analysis of the suspects’ mobile data has been completed, and charges have been filed under anti-terrorism laws.
In a related development, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) in Punjab dismantled what it described as an intricate RAW-led spy network with local collaborators. Under “Operation Yalghar,” six alleged RAW agents were arrested in Toba Tek Singh.
The CTD seized detailed maps of strategic locations, detonators, and high-intensity explosives. This operation was not isolated, as CTD Bahawalpur also arrested additional suspects allegedly linked to the same Indian intelligence network. Officials claim that the operatives received both financial aid from Dubai and physical shipments of IEDs from India’s Border Security Force (BSF).
The CTD disclosed that these individuals were planning attacks on a mosque and a railway station—plots that could have had devastating consequences if carried out.
Perhaps the most serious revelation came from intercepted digital communications. The CTD says it obtained audio recordings of RAW officials, identified as Major Rawindra Rathor and Inspector Singh, giving operational orders to the arrested suspects. The audios allegedly detail plans to attack sensitive sites within Pakistan.
This case represents a rare instance where Pakistani authorities have not only implicated RAW but have also released what they claim is direct evidence of Indian officers orchestrating sabotage on Pakistani soil.
In a statement, the CTD reiterated its commitment to national security, declaring that Pakistan’s sovereignty will not be compromised and that anyone involved in foreign-backed subversion will be held accountable.
In a separate incident, a landmine explosion in Upper Kurram’s Pewar Sharamkhel area on Wednesday killed four people and seriously injured four others.
Police said the victims were collecting firewood in the mountainous terrain when one of them stepped on a buried landmine, triggering a deadly blast. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital for urgent medical treatment.
One of the survivors described the scene as chaotic, saying that a sudden explosion caused panic and confusion as people cried out and scrambled for safety.
District Police Officer Habibullah confirmed that preliminary investigations indicate a landmine detonation. Bomb disposal teams and local officials examined the area and launched an inquiry. Authorities called the attack an attempt to destabilize peace in the region, while tribal elders condemned the incident and demanded accountability.
A search operation has been initiated, and further investigations are underway.
