CTD officials identified the suspect as Roz Ali Khan, a resident of Armar Miana in Peshawar district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Officials alleged that he was working as an operative for India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
According to the reports, the arrest was carried out during a CTD operation based on intelligence. Officials claimed the suspect was present in Koh Noor City on Faisalabad Road in Okara and was allegedly planning to target sensitive installations.
