SSP Shoaib Memon of the CIA’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) announced on Wednesday that four individuals allegedly linked to the Indian intelligence agency RAW were arrested during a joint operation with a federal intelligence agency in Karachi’s Quaidabad area.
Addressing a press conference, he said that those arrested were fishermen by profession and were in contact with the Indian Colonel Ranjeet. “The suspects, around 20 years of age, took photographs of sensitive installations in Malir and sent these to Ranjeet,” the SSP said, adding that the suspects crossed over into India over 20 times. “They would go to India by sea,” he elaborated.
“Weapons, including hand grenades, a vehicle, cellphones, and maps and documents of sensitive installations were also recovered from their possession,” Memon informed.
He went on to say that the suspects, who had been moved to an undisclosed location, were being interrogated and were expected to make more revelations.
