He also said that he was given financial benefits in exchange for providing some information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The press briefing said that the accused also expressed regret, calling these contacts a \u201cmistake\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, local sources and some quarters have also raised questions about the arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to them, several such claims were made in the past as well, which became a part of the past with the passage of time without any concrete result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics say that such incidents are sometimes used to \u201ctemporarily change public opinion\u201d or \u201chighlight the performance of security agencies\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a video released by the authorities, the accused Irfan is telling that a person named Shahid from Lahore sent him a friend request on Facebook and then they came into contact with each other. First, he was given the task of making various videos of the village, and later he was asked to make videos of police stations and sensitive agencies and he used to get paid for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video clearly shows him reading a script. Earlier, several such cases were claimed by security agencies across Pakistan where during press conferences held, several men and women were presented as accused with their faces hidden and videos of some were made public who were presented as criminals, including Baloch women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that Kashgal News will work further on various aspects of this case through the family of the accused, local sources and its own independent investigation so that the facts can be brought to the public with more transparency. And right now, a one-sided state position is being published in this news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The arrest of a person has been revealed from Rawalakot district of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, whom the police claim is associated with the Indian intelligence agency \u201cRAW\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1383,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[83,40,55,35,132,79,34,46,37,279],"class_list":["post-1382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jammu-kashmir","tag-ajk-police","tag-government-of-pakistan","tag-government-of-pok","tag-india","tag-indian-army","tag-isi","tag-pakistan","tag-pakistan-army","tag-pok","tag-raw"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.5 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
