Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), Sindh, along with a federal intelligence agency, arrested a facilitator involved in supplying modern drone technology and electronic equipment to militants on Saturday. The suspect, identified as Tahir by CTD SSP Irfan Bahadur, was linked to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Two kilograms of explosive material, a drone, batteries, and a remote control device were recovered during the operation. The suspect’s brother, Talal alias Zaid Baloch, is based in Afghanistan and remains in contact with the militant network.

During preliminary interrogation, Tahir admitted to purchasing drone parts, batteries, control boards, and other electronic components from markets in Karachi and online platforms. These materials are being used for preparing drone attacks, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and suicide vests. The CTD has registered a case and launched further investigations.
