QUETTA: In a major breakthrough aided by enhanced surveillance and modern investigative techniques, Pakistani law enforcement agencies have dismantled yet another Indian-backed spy network operating in Balochistan. This latest discovery highlights the persistent attempts by India’s intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), to fuel unrest in the volatile province.
A series of recent raids led to the arrest of five individuals allegedly involved in espionage and logistical support for the proscribed militant organization, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). Investigators believe the network received direct support and funding from RAW.
The arrests yielded a cache of incriminating evidence, including satellite phones, Indian SIM cards, and large quantities of foreign currency. Authorities assert these findings point to a deliberate effort to incite violence and stir a new wave of insurgency in Balochistan.
Among the key suspects is Abdul Latif, son of Mohammad Essa, who was apprehended on May 5, 2025, from the Dank area of Turbat. Forensic analysis confirmed that 25 covert calls made from his satellite phone were directly linked to the infamous Lodhi Road headquarters in New Delhi — a known hub of RAW’s operations.
Further validation came from a recent investigative report published in the Global Info War Review, a Western cybersecurity journal. The report traced the same IP routes used by Latif to the digital infrastructure operated by BLA leader Dr. Allah Nazar. This revelation has established a definitive cyber link between Indian intelligence and the separatist group’s digital network.
Security officials say this evidence strengthens Pakistan’s longstanding claim about foreign interference in its internal affairs and provides concrete proof of India’s covert operations aimed at destabilising Balochistan.

Authorities continue to investigate the full extent of the network’s operations and have vowed to pursue all collaborators, both domestic and foreign, involved in undermining national security.
