In a carefully thought-out operation known as “Operation Yalghar,” the Punjab Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) arrested six Pakistani nationals on Wednesday on suspicion of serving as facilitators for India’s intelligence agency, RAW.
Punjab Additional IG Shahzada Sultan told reporters at a news conference in Lahore that the CTD had foiled a terrorist plot to destabilize important parts of southern Punjab, especially Bahawalpur and Bahawalnagar.
Shahzada Sultan declared, “We have taken two Indian spies from Bahawalnagar and one RAW facilitator from Bahawalpur into custody.” “This operation is a major victory against the escalating threats of terrorism in Pakistan that are sponsored by foreign entities.”
Initial investigations revealed that the facilitators were getting ready to target Bahawalpur’s railway terminals and mosques.
