Karachi<\/strong> \u2013
In a significant breakthrough against terrorism, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) Sindh<\/strong>, in collaboration with federal intelligence agencies, has dismantled a large network of Indian intelligence agency RAW (Research and Analysis Wing)<\/strong> operating in Karachi. The crackdown followed extensive investigations into the targeted killing of a 45-year-old man from Badin, Abdul Rehman, whose murder on May 18<\/strong> provided crucial leads to the presence of an organized RAW-backed terror cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tracing the Network through Abdul Rehman\u2019s Murder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Abdul Rehman\u2019s targeted killing initially appeared to be another isolated act of urban violence. However, investigators soon discovered that the murder was linked to a broader conspiracy involving foreign-backed agents. The probe not only exposed RAW\u2019s role but also uncovered its financial channels, logistic operations, and safe houses<\/strong> established in Karachi to facilitate terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the findings, authorities confirmed that an FIR has been registered<\/strong> against one of RAW\u2019s reporting agencies that was operating under cover, while the primary investigation has now been officially handed over to CTD for deeper interrogation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RAW\u2019s Role in Financing and Logistics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to CTD officials, the investigations revealed that RAW had been funding, training, and directing local operatives<\/strong> to carry out acts of terrorism and targeted killings across Karachi and other major cities of Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was further disclosed that RAW had provided significant financial support<\/strong> to its agents through banking remittances and international money transfers<\/strong> to bypass scrutiny. The funds were used to purchase weapons, explosives, and to maintain a Karachi-based safe house<\/strong> where terrorists planned attacks and coordinated missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The probe also confirmed that terror plots and target killings were planned abroad<\/strong>, with RAW handlers directly guiding operations from foreign soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recruitment of Local Agents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of RAW\u2019s key operatives, identified as Sanjay Sanjeev Kumar alias “Fauji”<\/strong>, was allegedly instrumental in establishing this network. Based in a Gulf state, Kumar recruited two Pakistani expatriates, Salman and Arsalan<\/strong>, convincing them to work as RAW agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salman, in turn, recruited a target-killer gang<\/strong> consisting of Umair, Sajjad, Ubaid, and Shakeel<\/strong>. This gang was tasked with carrying out contract killings, bombings, and other subversive activities in Karachi under RAW\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confessions of Captured Operatives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During interrogation, the arrested operatives confessed to receiving money from RAW for targeted killings<\/strong>. They admitted that they were operating as RAW\u2019s local agents and also acknowledged their ties to the banned Sindhi nationalist group SRA (Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The detainees further revealed their involvement in multiple terror plots in Karachi<\/strong>, confirming that they had received financial backing directly from RAW for assassinations and destabilization campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weapons and Explosives Seized<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the raids, law enforcement agencies recovered a cache of arms and explosives from the possession of the arrested individuals. The seized items included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 9mm pistols<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 30-bore pistols<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 125 mortar shells<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • An improvised explosive device (IED)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Officials confirmed that these weapons were intended for use in future terrorist attacks across Karachi and potentially other urban centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    CTD Files Cases under Anti-Terrorism Laws<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Following the joint operation, the CTD has registered multiple cases under anti-terrorism laws<\/strong>, citing RAW\u2019s involvement and the use of Pakistan-based operatives to execute terror campaigns. Investigations are ongoing to trace additional members of the network and to identify facilitators who may still be active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Broader Evidence of RAW\u2019s Involvement in Pakistan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Authorities also stated that the operation unearthed evidence linking RAW to previous terror attacks<\/strong> in Karachi and other cities, including bomb blasts, targeted killings, and attempts to sabotage critical infrastructure. The presence of a Karachi safe house directly linked to RAW handlers abroad strengthens the case for external involvement in destabilizing Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Government and Security Response<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Security officials have emphasized that the busting of this RAW-backed terror cell underscores the continued threat of foreign interference<\/strong> in Pakistan\u2019s internal security. Federal authorities are expected to share further details in the coming days, while law enforcement agencies remain on high alert for possible retaliatory attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The CTD vowed to intensify its counterterrorism operations to dismantle any remaining nodes of RAW\u2019s network, stressing that Pakistan will not allow its soil to be used for proxy wars or foreign-sponsored militancy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The discovery and dismantling of RAW\u2019s Karachi-based terror network marks a major success for Pakistani security forces. It not only highlights the role of foreign intelligence agencies in orchestrating terrorism within Pakistan but also demonstrates the effectiveness of CTD Sindh and federal agencies in preventing large-scale violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With confessions, seized weapons, and documented evidence, the case now moves into a critical phase where authorities aim to expose the entire chain of command<\/strong> linking local operatives with their foreign handlers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
