The CTD confirmed that all arrested individuals were receiving heavy funding directly from RAW. The investigation was aided by the identification of a key Facebook ID named “Adil” operating from India, which was allegedly facilitating the RAW network.
The arrested suspects, who include Sukhdeep Singh, Azmat, Faizan, and others from various districts, reportedly intended to spread chaos and incite religious hatred across Punjab.
The CTD has registered cases against the suspects, identified as being part of the “Fitna-ul-Hindustan” network, while further investigation is underway.
