KARACHI: The Sindh Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), in coordination with federal intelligence agencies, has successfully dismantled a major network of India’s intelligence agency RAW operating in Karachi and across Sindh.
The breakthrough came during investigations into the May 18 murder of Abdul Rehman.
CTD Additional Inspector General (AIG) Azad Khan revealed during a press briefing that RAW had provided financial, logistical, and operational support to its operatives in Pakistan, even establishing safe houses in Karachi to plan targeted killings and terrorist activities.
🔹 Murder of Abdul Rehman: The Trail to RAW
Abdul Rehman was shot dead outside his shop in Matli on May 18. CCTV footage captured three suspects at the scene, confirmed by eyewitnesses.
Within hours, Indian media celebrated the killing, claiming that an “enemy of India” had been targeted.
CTD confirmed that the suspects conducted reconnaissance of Rehman for five days starting May 13, making the murder a planned and targeted operation directed from abroad.
🔹 Mastermind Abroad: RAW Agent “Fouji”
Investigations revealed the mastermind as RAW agent Sanjay Sanjeev Kumar, alias “Fouji”, operating from a Gulf state.
Kumar allegedly recruited two Pakistani nationals, Salman and Arslan, who were working in Gulf countries, paying them substantial sums to act as RAW agents.
Salman subsequently formed a target-killers’ gang comprising:
-Umair
-Sajjad
-Obaid
-Shakeel
-Talha
-Arslan
The gang entered Pakistan via Karachi Airport, stayed at a hotel in Hyderabad, and conducted surveillance in Matli before executing the killing.
After the operation, Salman fled first abroad and later reached Nepal.
🔹 Arrests and Recoveries
-July 8: Four suspects arrested — Umair Asghar, Sajjad, Obaid, Shakeel
-August 17: Arslan arrested
-August 22: Talha and Amir apprehended
Recovered from the suspects:
-9mm and .30-bore pistols used in the killing
-Motorcycle used in the operation
-Mobile phones containing communication records
-125 mortar shells and an explosive device during follow-up raids
🔹 RAW’s Terror Financing & Separatist Links
AIG Khan confirmed that RAW funneled large sums to its operatives in Pakistan via banking channels and other sources.
Investigations also revealed the involvement of a banned separatist organization that facilitated RAW’s network on the ground.
Evidence further linked RAW to bombings and terrorist attacks in Karachi and other cities, with safe houses where attacks were remotely planned under Sanjay Kumar’s direction.
🔹 Confessions & Planned Terror Attacks
During interrogation, the suspects admitted to working as local RAW agents and receiving Indian funding for targeted killings in Pakistan.
The suspects also revealed ties to the banned Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA), confirming RAW’s use of separatist proxies to destabilize Pakistan.
They disclosed detailed plans of future terrorist attacks in Karachi, which CTD believes were averted due to timely arrests.

Who was Abdul Rahman?
PakPulse Intel identified Abdul Rehman as Razaullah Nizami, alias Abu Saifullah Nizami, a 48-year-old former commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba. He was targeted and killed in Matli city, District Badin (Sindh) on May 18, near a local chowk, shortly after leaving his house.
According to sources, Abu Saifullah had been instructed by the organization to restrict his movements and go into hiding. His security was also increased. Despite these precautions, unidentified armed assailants shot him dead as he stepped out of his home.
Razaullah Nizami had been actively involved in the Kashmir freedom struggle for many years. Upon returning from Kashmir, he was honored with the title “Ghazi Abu Saifullah” and later worked as a social worker, engaging in welfare activities. Several members of PMML, Lashkar-e-Taiba’s political wing, confirmed his killing.
It is important to note that the “Abu Saifullah” mentioned by Indian media in connection with the Pahalgam attack was not the same individual.

Mounting warnings from the United Nations, Iran, and Pakistan have placed the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) at the center of international security concerns, amid fears that battle-hardened fighters from Syria could redeploy to Afghanistan. The Taliban, however, have categorically rejected these allegations, calling them unfounded.
On 18 August, the UN Secretary-General’s biannual report to the Security Council identified ISKP as one of the gravest security challenges in Afghanistan and Central Asia. The report estimated the group’s strength at around 2,000 fighters under the leadership of Sanaullah Ghafari, noting that it has intensified attacks on Shia communities, Afghanistan’s de facto authorities, and foreign nationals. Recruitment campaigns have also expanded into Central Asia and the North Caucasus, underscoring ISKP’s regional ambitions.
Significantly, the report warned that militants who fought in the December 2024 campaign against the former Syrian government may shift to Afghanistan, a move that could both strengthen ISKP’s ranks and project instability across Central Asia. UN analysts cautioned that the group’s resilience, sectarian agenda, and ability to attract foreign recruits remain persistent challenges despite sustained global counter-terrorism pressure.
Four days later, on 22 August, Iran’s Ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, reiterated those concerns in a Security Council debate on Syria, describing the transfer of militants from Syria to Afghanistan as a “dangerous development” that poses a direct threat to neighboring countries and wider regional stability. He stressed that groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda continue to destabilize Syria, warning that their relocation would compound the threat in Afghanistan.
Pakistan’s envoy echoed the warning, arguing that militant factions operating under Taliban rule already endanger Islamabad’s security and regional peace.
The Taliban, however, have rejected these concerns outright. Spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid dismissed the Security Council’s assessments, stating:
Despite these denials, ISKP has continued to stage attacks. In its most recent Al-Naba weekly bulletin, the group claimed responsibility for three August operations — two in Nangarhar province and one in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has released a statement through its spokesperson, Muhammad Khorasani, trying dismissing Pakistan’s repeated assertions that the group’s fighters cross into the country from Afghanistan to conduct attacks.
According to the group, despite Pakistan’s extensive security infrastructure along the 2,700 km Durand Line which they called a "fictitious"—including fencing, checkpoints every 200–300 meters, surveillance cameras, sensor systems, automated lights, patrols, large military camps, and over 800 drones—it is “not possible” for their fighters to use Afghan territory for operations inside Pakistan.
The group alleges that such accusations are intended to mislead the international community and secure military and political backing, while masking the state’s internal security challenges.
TTP also cited local political leaders who reportedly acknowledged that, in some areas of Dera, their influence is visible during nighttime, while police stations and checkpoints are often empty. They further claimed that recent tribal Jirgas, such as one by the Qambar Khel clan of the Afridi tribe, were held on Pakistani soil and not across the border.
In its statement, the group asserted that it has an established presence across 36 districts—from Gilgit-Baltistan to Balochistan, Punjab, Karachi, and Hazara—with many of its members being local recruits. They argued that recruitment stems from grievances linked to state policies and security force actions.
Calling on the United Nations and international actors, TTP demanded an impartial investigation into Pakistan’s claims, accusing authorities of using counterterrorism narratives to justify military operations, demolitions, and enforced disappearances, particularly targeting Pashtun and Baloch communities.
The group further insisted that it emerged in response to what it describes as “state oppression,” and that its activities are sustained entirely from within Pakistan, without the need for external bases.

Well, anyone who thinks TTP’s leadership and its Shura aren’t based in Afghanistan—or that Pakistan can actually secure the entire 2,700 km Durand Line across all that rugged mountainous terrain—is kind of delusional. That said, it’s also true that many TTP fighters are Afghan nationals. The timing of this statement is pretty ironic, coming right as Afghanistan is repatriating the bodies of its citizens who were part of TTP taskheel and were killed in Zhob :)
