Network of 'RAW' Busted in Karachi, Pakistan: Arrested 6

The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of Pakitan on Saturday 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.

According to Kashmir Media Service, 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.

According to Azad Khan, the suspects conducted reconnaissance for five days in Matli, Badin, before carrying out the killing. The CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts also identified three of the arrested men at the crime scene. He said that Indian media had celebrated the murder, which further underscored the hand of RAW.

Azad Khan said the Indian handler was identified as Sanjay Sanjeev Kumar, based in a Gulf state, who had recruited two Pakistanis for the operation. The network included a gang formed by a suspect named Salman, comprising Umair, Sajad, Obaid and Shakeel.
