At least 20 militants, including a BSN commander, surrendered to Pakistan Rangers on Tuesday and informed the authorities that they had been funded and supported by the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) of India, said a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations.

The statement from the military’s media wing added that the militants were funded by RAW through Brahamdagh Bugti.

The militant commander who surrendered today said the group was kept misinformed and apologised for their past deeds, added the ISPR.

The ISPR further added that the surrendering commander had also appealed to other militants to lay down their arms.
