Why #Pakistan Released #Indian Spy Info During #Rouhani's Visit?
Possible Reasons - Analysis
Some commentators are talking about the timing of the release of information to coincide with #Iran President #Rouhani's visit to 'embarass' Iran.
They need to look at it from another angle.
An earlier release of information may have resulted in cancellation of the visit, depriving Pakistan of chance to share evidence directly with the Iranian president on how Iranian soil is being used by India against us.
The passport was necessary because otherwise there would be an outright denial.
Thanks to this Pakistani strategy, Iran now is compelled to verify the residency stamp and India has no wiggle room. Badly caught.
Such captures are never made public until all information has been gleaned and necessary steps taken to take down networks involved and this can take long periods of time given different circumstances.
#India can claim that its agent was lured by Pakistan and caught or kidnapped from the border region of Afghanistan or Iran and arrested there. This claim does not change the fact that Yadav was operating fairly large terror networks inside Pakistan.
One last interesting point.
Mr. Yadav has already done two cover tenures at Tehran while serving in Naval Intelligence before being posted to R&AW. So, it is not as if India, Iran or Pakistan did not know him already.
Moreover, when a man as important as this fellow goes missing from the radar his sponsors know and then it is a matter of speed who gets what or who can damage control what. Hence, whatever excuses and justifications India is making now are well thought-out.
Commander Bhoshan Yadav (Indian Navy), code name: Hussain Mubarak, got commission in 1991 in Indian Navy as a Lieutenant. He was inducted in the Indian Naval Intelligence and subsequently joined Research and Analysis Wing. He is resident of Mumbai and was working to fail China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and was supporting terrorist organizations in Balochistan and rest of Pakistan.
This is the first time in the history of relations between Pakistan and India that a serving senior military intelligence officer is arrested with full evidence.
Hats off to Pakistan Navy Counter Intelligence, Security Division South and Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). There is a complete silence and shock in India.
