Kul Bhoshan Yadav arrested for being linked to the Indian Intelligence Agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) is a serving Indian naval officer whose primary mission was to foment terrorism in Karachi and Balochistan, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) head Lt Gen Asim Bajwa has said.
“He converted to Islam and worked at Gadani under the cover of a scrap dealer,” said Asim Bajwa in a joint presser with Information Minister Pervez Rashid on Tuesday. “So it established he was working for the Indian spy agency and there is an active RAW network in Pakistan, especially in Balochistan.”
The presser was kicked off with a 6-minute confessional video of the Indian spy.
“Pakistan and Balochistan’s maps were recovered from Yadav’s possession. He used to establish a network of operatives, provide funds, arrange and smuggle people for terrorism in the country,” Bajwa claimed.
The DG ISPR added the Indian spy was tasked with carrying out bomb blasts, disrupt the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, plan attacks in Karachi and work against efforts of Balochistan reconciliation.
“Yadav also had a link in the assassination of former SSP CID Chaudhry Aslam, added Bajwa.”
Last week, Balochistan Home Minister Sarfaraz Bugti had revealed the arrest of the RAW officer.
Islamabad and the Balochistan government have long accused RAW and Afghan intelligence of funding and training Baloch insurgents, who have been targeting security forces and pro-government personalities in the province for the past 10 years.
Security forces have stepped up operations in the violence-wracked Balochistan province since the announcement of the National Action Plan against terrorism in December 2014.
The province has been in the throes of a low-key insurgency since 2004, which became deadlier after the killing of Baloch chieftain Nawab Akbar Bugti in 2006.
