The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) conducted an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Bolan following credible intelligence regarding the presence of members of Fitna al-Hindustan in the area.
According to initial information released by the CTD, security personnel launched the operation after receiving actionable intelligence. During the operation, an intense exchange of fire took place between CTD personnel and the members of Fitna al-Hindustan.
As a result of the encounter, three members of Fitna al-Hindustan were killed, while the remaining individuals fled the area amid the exchange of fire.
Following the engagement, security personnel immediately cordoned off the area and initiated a comprehensive search operation to locate those who fled and to ensure that no further threat remained in the vicinity.
The cordon and search operation remains underway, with security personnel conducting a detailed sweep of the area and pursuing leads regarding the whereabouts of the fleeing members of Fitna al-Hindustan. Heightened security measures have been maintained in and around the operational area as the search continues. Personnel are proceeding with caution while working to establish whether any additional individuals connected to the group remain in the vicinity.
The bodies of the three deceased members of Fitna al-Hindustan are being shifted under tight security to Teaching Hospital Sibi for the required medical and legal procedures. The operation highlights the importance of intelligence-based actions in identifying and disrupting the activities of armed groups and preventing potential threats to public security.
The CTD continues to conduct intelligence-led operations against networks and individuals it identifies as posing a security threat, with the objective of disrupting their activities and maintaining security across the region.
With the area still under cordon, security personnel remain deployed as the search operation continues. Authorities are maintaining heightened vigilance to prevent the movement of fleeing members of Fitna al-Hindustan and to safeguard surrounding areas.
The latest operation in Bolan reflects continued counter-terrorism efforts based on intelligence inputs and targeted security action. The operation remains ongoing, and further developments will be communicated by the authorities as verified information becomes available.
