KARACHI: Pakistan’s Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) announced on Saturday that it has uncovered a large network of India’s intelligence agency RAW operating inside Sindh.
Senior officials revealed that the network was behind the targeted killing of a citizen in Matli, Badin, on May 18, 2025. Additional IG CTD Sindh Azad Khan and DIG briefed reporters, confirming that multiple suspects had been arrested and evidence directly linked the group to RAW.
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.
Azad Khan emphasized that CTD’s role is limited to investigation, while the federal government will now take the matter further at policy and diplomatic levels. He added that better prosecution has been planned to ensure strict punishment for the culprits, while names of potential future targets were also found during interrogations.
