RAW network “busted” in Karachi as CTD arrests six suspects
Pakistan’s Counter Terrorism Department announced on Saturday that it has uncovered a large network of India’s intelligence agency RAW operating inside Sindh.
According to investigators, the operation was masterminded by Sanjay Sanjeev Kumar alias Fauji, an Indian agent currently residing in a Gulf state. He allegedly hired Salman, a resident of Sheikhupura, to execute the plan.
Officials revealed that RAW provided significant funding for the murder plot. The arrested suspects—who conducted reconnaissance in Matli—were found with weapons, motorcycles, and mobile phones used in the crime.
CTD Sindh said this was not the first time RAW had carried out operations inside Pakistan. In a similar 2018 case, an innocent citizen was killed in Matli, which was followed by immediate propaganda in Indian media.
Investigators noted that RAW has previously carried out covert killings and intelligence operations in other countries as well, highlighting the transnational nature of its activities.
The Counter Terrorism Department announced the arrest of six suspects linked to India’s intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), claiming to have uncovered a major terrorist network and safe houses operating in Karachi.
, CTD said the operation was carried out jointly with federal intelligence agencies. It added that an entire network working for RAW had been exposed.
The CTD Additional Inspector General, Azad Khan addressing a press conference in Karachi said that the men were arrested on July 8 in connection with the killing of a 45-year-old man in Badin on May 18, 2025.
During interrogation, investigators unearthed a wider network allegedly run by RAW handler Sanjay, based abroad, who remained in contact with the suspects and orchestrated the plot.
