The police department, with the help of spy agencies, has uncovered a cyber network working at the behest of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
The network of the Indian prime intelligence agency was working in Karachi.
A joint investigation team, composed of police and sensitive agencies, has been formed to probe the matter in detail. The investigators arrested a suspect, Sufyan Naqvi, from the Rizvia area of Karachi. They found essential clues from his computer.

As per the preliminary details, Naqvi worked as a project coordinator for the top Indian spy agency. He had been tasked to do his job online while residing in Pakistan.
