Embarrassing moments for RAW's history. They are uncapable and stupideous wasting times. This is not the first time, it happened before same process.
'Pakistani terrorists': RAW, Indian IB order probe into erroneous alert
LAHORE: The Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) and India’s Intelligence Bureau (IB) have ordered a probe regarding a report that had revealed that five Pakistani ‘terrorists’ belonging to banned outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) had sneaked into Mumbai possibly through the sea route and are plotting to attack vital installations.
The Multi Agency Centre (MAC) had forwarded the same alert received from the RAW along with photographs of the five alleged Pakistani terrorists to the police on May 6, 2012, Indian media reported.
After the report surfaced in the Indian media, The Express Tribune and Express News had traced all five men, and found out that they all belonged to Lahore and have been working at the famed electronics market, Hafeez Centre, for over four years.
The men were identified as Atif ****, Mehtab ****, Baber Shabbir , Nadeem Malik and Amjad Ali Khan. Four of them are shopkeepers/traders while Shabbir works as a security guard for the last five years at Hafeez Centre.
The Indian IB had ordered an enquiry on Thursday while RAW’s chief SK Tripathi, after meeting with Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram on Saturday ordered a probe on the issue.
While ordering an enquiry, the RAW chief sought explanations from the supervisor who had generated the ‘false’ alert and directed him to hold all those people responsible who generated the alert.
He also forwarded the same directions to other agencies and police.
The inquiry team will also investigate why this secret alert report was leaked to the media. The team was directed to check the role of Pakistani Intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence behind this episode to “defame India” as well as their agencies, sources said.
