Karachi: four alleged Indian agents were arrested in a raid made in the Quaidabad area, police said Wednesday.
The Sindh Police Special Investigation Unit and an intelligence agency carried out the raid on a notice, said the SSP SSP Mohammed Shoaib Memon, added that they had links with the Indian Intelligence Agency: the investigation and analysis wing (RAW).
He identified the suspects as Mohammed Khan aka Gullu, Yameen Malah, Akhter Thaheem and Ghulam Qadir aka Akash, and said they were found involved in espionage activities.
With his arrest, a plot to carry out terrorist attacks in the country was frustrated, he said.
SSP Memon said two hand grenades, a Kalashnikov, a rifle, two guns and mobile phones were seized. Mobile phones, which are believed to contain sensitive digital material, have been sent for a forensic analysis, he said.
“The suspects had made videos and captured images of the country’s confidential facilities, which used to send RAW with specialized software,” said the SIU officer.
According to him, the suspects admitted that they used to meet with officers of the RAW and Indian Border Security Force in border areas.
They received great sums of cash, liquor and valuable gifts from the personnel of the Indian agencies, said the SSP.
