LAHORE: Law enforcement agencies on Sunday claimed to have arrested four suspects linked to India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) spy agency from Lahore.
The arrested men reportedly belong to Baseen village, near the Indo-Pak Wagah Border.
All suspects have been identified by a former cop, who was arrested last week for being an “agent of Indian agency RAW”, according to an intelligence source.

Private TV channels had last week reported the arrest of Ilyas, a former cop, at Baseen village near Wagah Border on the charges of spying for RAW. Ilays has been accused of providing information to the Indian spy agency about some senior army and police officials.
Following the arrest of the former cop, Punjab police spokesperson had issued a statement quoting DIG Operations Dr Haider Ashraf as saying “no RAW agent or former police official has been arrested by the intelligence agencies.” He had said he talked to the Military Intelligence (MI) and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) officials but they did not confirm the arrest of the suspect.

The same old conspiracy theory to counter inefficiency and incompetency of security forces. Now they are not even finding singhs, prakash and laals as raw operatives.

Neither Pakistan can destroy India nor can India destroy Pakistan both eat their own earned meal so why not give peace a chance, why not choose to live happily & peacefully, why not settle all disputes through talks in a friendly atmosphere.

If they are RAW agent then its shame for our security lapse and if they are not then shame that we put blame on RAW. I say the same for India who put this stories of ISI agents and bla bla.

Not all but some individuals on both sides of Pak India border are involved in smuggling activities specially liquor and drugs. When such individuals are caught by Pakistani police, these culprits are framed as RAW agents while real RAW agents well could be roaming on Mall Road in Lahore.

Pakistan gives visas to Sikhs for them to visits their religious sites. Unfortunately RAW has been using them for illegal activities. I urge Sikh visitors to stay within the law so futue Sikh pilgrims can enjoy visas to Pakistan.

@Dr Ahmed... Can be true-- "while real RAW agents well could be roaming on Mall Road in Lahore." Mostly things like this are true although I am not sure if RAW has any agents in pakistan. but yes.. if we notice that America portrayed KGB agents as nasty, menacing, bulging & bar bouncer like Caucasian men who could not speak english properly, the actual agent that was found right in the DC area some years back was an attractive lady settled deep into the political & high society circuit, and who became was famous and jeopardized so many high ranking positions that after her brief arrest she was eventually traded back to Russia in a specially arranged spy-exchange.

Dr Ahmad, Thank for this comment. A perfect observation. Few months back a little boy came on to he Indian side and they thought the boy was sent by LeT. When this will stop? And there are more hot headed people on both sides rather than logical people who would like to live in peace. India and Pakistan they both like each other but also have ego keeping them separate. One day both Pakistan and India will realize that "Kashmir fiasco" is blocking their friendship and brotherhood.

Proper Identification procedures are required in Pakistan. They really need to get the media involved of shipping out any newbies in a village, city, rented accommodation, hotel accommodation, car rentals, Pakistan really need really need to keep a check of all its population. Just look to the West on how it monitors its visitors for ideas.
