ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will send a formal reference to Iran seeking investigation into presence of the Indian spy agency, Research and Analysis Wing, in Chabahar and influx of its agents into Balochistan and other parts of Pakistan.
According to sources, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan raised the issue with his Iranian counterpart Abdul Raza Rehmani at a meeting on Saturday and the latter asked the former to send a formal reference in this regard.
“We will send a formal reference to Iran in a day or two to get information that may help investigate the matter,” a spokesman of the interior ministry told Dawn on Sunday.
Security agencies captured a RAW agent, Kulbhushan Yadav, from Balochistan who possessed an Indian identity card with his name as Mubarak Hussain Patel.
According to media reports, the RAW network was being operated from Chabahar Port.
“In the reference, Pakistan will ask Iran how Indian spy agency’s network was being operated in Chabahar and one of its agents had come to Pakistan via Iranian border,” the interior ministry spokesman said.
The spokesman said the Iranian government would also be urged to take appropriate action against the RAW network operating from its port city.

An appropriate step. Pakistan must initialize the investigation with a request to Iran and wait for Iran's reply. Iran must respond in good faith and begin a new era of friendship between Pakistan and Iran.
Yeah and considering the great relationship with Pakistan; Iran will do the needful isn't it ?
Good luck with the Investigation.
@East indian imaginative investigation
Iran must co-operate.
There is no doubt about Indian involvement. The matter must be raised at all international forums and case be pursued for economic sanctions against India.
Good luck Pakistan...
This is nonsense. He is just a businessman.
Now businessmen then tourist, later innocent people. And producing identity of others,to prove false points.
This is nonsense. Iran should not be part of greater game against Pakistan. Someone in Iran is supporting these Indians to disturb our peace and stability.
Instead of discussion on Trade, now the countries are discussing RAW
Nothing will come out of this. It's all cosmetic!
Iran should strictly take action against India for doing this. They should clearly tell them, their involvement is for only trade route and not for military alliance.
I think enough of patience. They are not understanding language of peace. Our Security agencies also do the similar what they are doing to us.
@Harsh With fake id:s. Sounds logical.
Iran should act now and take Pakistan in confidence...
@Dr. Farooq Khan India is not interested in Iran especially the Chabahar port which ultimately will go to China.
