Indian explanations on arrest of spy debunked

ISLAMABAD: Authoritative sources here on Sunday strongly debunked the lame excuses and absurd explanations being published by the Indian media on the recent arrest of a RAW agent from Pakistan’s Balochistan province.

A serving commander of the Indian Navy, now working for the notorious Indian intelligence agency RAW, Kal Boshan Yadev, s/o Sudhir Jhadev, was arrested from the Balochistan province last week. He made startling disclosures about the Indian involvement in subversive activities in Pakistan.

The highly embarrassed Indian establishment has come out with the standard denial but few people have bought it considering the details furnished by Pakistan.

Sources said the claim the Indian officer operated ships was nonsense as Yadev was arrested from Quetta, around 1,000 kilometers from the nearest Pakistani port. What was he doing in Quetta “if he often carries cargo to and from Iranian ports bordering Pakistan and has nothing to do with India’s external Intelligence agency”, they asked. The picture of the Indian officer, his identification number issued by the Indian Navy, a copy of his Indian passport and Iranian visa have been made public.

At the same time, it has been reported that the family of Yadev has gone missing from his hometown in Mumbai, apparently picked up by the Indian intelligence agency so that it does not speak to the media, further embarrassing the already jittery Indian establishment.

The demand to provide consular access to the spy who was arrested while being undercover shows the bouts of anxiety New Delhi is suffering from. But Yadev does not enjoy a diplomatic status.

Not long ago, in 2013, a retired Indian Army chief, Vijay Kumar Singh, had admitted that India had sponsored bomb blasts in Pakistan and doled out money to the separatist elements in Balochistan.

The sources said that Indian footprints in Balochistan have been confirmed by the Pakistani state at the international level. They said the Indian military and intelligence services were infiltrating specially-trained and psychologically- motivated terrorists to inflict losses on Pakistan’s polity, economic infrastructure and create divisions in the society by exploiting religious weaknesses and ethnic fissures. 

The sources said while it was known to all that India had been orchestrating sectarian and political violence and sabotage activities across Pakistan, from Fata to Gwadar and to the streets of Karachi, the arrest of the Raw spy, a serving officer of the Indian Navy, has caught the Indian establishment with its pants down. The exceptional breakthrough of its kind provides the hard evidence and the connection about the Indian involvement in destablising Pakistan.
