Pakistan has released a confessional video in which an arrested Indian spy is heard admitting to New Delhi's involvement in terrorist activities in the Pakistan province of Balochistan and the megacity of Karachi. |

Serving Indian Navy commander Kulbushan Yadav says in the video that he had been directing various Indian intelligence operations in Karachi and Balochistan "at the behest of RAW" , the Indian intelligence agency, and that he was still with the Indian Navy. It should be noted that India is on record of strongly opposing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Project.
Yadav informed that he had played a key role in inciting chaos and terror in Karachi. In interrogations done by the London Police, some top MQM leaders have confirmed receiving support from India's RAW for their criminal activities in Karachi.

Pakistani law enforcement agencies arrested Yadav in an intelligence-based raid in Chaman near the border with Afghanistan. Before writing and promoting an anti-Pakistan book in India, American analyst and author Christine Fair said in 2009: "Having visited the Indian mission in Zahedan, Iran, I can assure you they are not issuing visas as the main activity! Moreover, India has run operations from its mission in Mazar (through which it supported the Northern Alliance) and is likely doing so from the other consulates it has reopened in Jalalabad and Qandahar along the border. Indian officials have told me privately that they are pumping money into Baluchistan".
The video was released at a press conference attended by Pakistan Army spokesman Lt Gen Asim Bajwa of ISPR (Inter-Services Press Relations) and Federal Information Minister Pervez Rashid.
Calling Yadav's arrest a "big achievement", Bajwa said Yadav was in direct contact with top RAW officials. "His goal was to disrupt development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), with Gwadar port as a special target," Bajwa said. "This is nothing short of state-sponsored terrorism... There can be no clearer evidence of Indian interference in Pakistan."
Yadav is heard saying in the video that he was still a serving officer in the Indian Navy and would be due for retirement in 2022.
"By 2002, I commenced intelligence operations. In 2003, I established a small business in Chabahar in Iran. "As I was able to achieve undetected existence and visits to Karachi in 2003 and 2004. Having done some basic assignments within India for RAW, I was picked up by RAW in 2013 end," Yadav revealed.
Yadav said his purpose was to remain in direct contact with Baloch insurgents and carry out "activities with their collaboration".
He held a valid Indian passport and Iranian visa. India has denied Yadav was an intelligence operative and said he was formerly from the navy. New Delhi has also demanded consular access to Yadav, which has been denied.
Yadav was moved to Islamabad for interrogation during which an unnamed official said the spy revealed he had bought boats at the Iranian port in Chabahar to attack Karachi and Gwadar ports, Dawn reported.
India's intelligence agency RAW has a long history of sponsoring covert operations in Pakistan . Ex-Indian spy R.K. Yadav has documented some of RAW's past successes in Pakistan stretching back to 1960s.
Ex-US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has confirmed that India has said that "India has always used Afghanistan as a second front against Pakistan. India has over the years been financing problems in Pakistan ".
Since 2013, India's current National Security Advisor Ajit Doval has been talking about "Pakistan's vulnerabilities" to terrorism and India's ability to take advantage of it . The latest arrest of Indian agent Kulbhushan Yadav is confirmation of the Doval Doctrine against Pakistan in action.
