Security forces in Pakistan have successfully dismantled an Indian-sponsored spy network operating in Balochistan, arresting five militants linked to the banned outfit Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), which is reportedly backed by India’s intelligence agency, RAW.
According to official sources, the network was involved in espionage, communications support, and financial assistance to the BLA, with the clear aim of destabilizing the region. During recent intelligence-driven operations, security forces recovered Indian SIM cards, satellite phones, and a large quantity of foreign currency, which authorities cite as conclusive evidence of India’s covert support to separatist elements in Pakistan.
Key Arrest: Abdul Latif’s Links to RAW Uncovered
The most significant breakthrough came with the arrest of Abdul Latif, son of Muhammad Essa, on May 5, 2025, from the Dank area of Turbat. Forensic analysis revealed that 25 encrypted satellite calls made from Abdul Latif’s device were directly linked to RAW’s headquarters on Lodhi Road, New Delhi, confirming operational coordination with the Indian spy agency.
This revelation has been independently corroborated by a leading international cyber security journal, Global Info-War Review, which published irrefutable evidence of digital links between BLA operatives and Indian handlers. The report also highlighted that key BLA leader Allah Nazar was actively engaged with the same Indian network via cyber channels.
RAW–BLA Nexus Aimed at Fuelling Fresh Unrest
Security analysts believe the exposed network was designed to ignite a new wave of unrest and insurgency in Balochistan. However, the timely action by Pakistan’s security agencies has thwarted a potentially large-scale destabilisation effort.
Officials have reiterated that external interference in Pakistan’s internal affairs, particularly from India, will not be tolerated, and counter-intelligence operations will continue to neutralise any threats to national security.
