Militants given gunfire cover by Pakistan Army: Indian army official | Baramulla infiltration

The army used rocket launchers and other heavy weapons to neutralise infiltrating terrorists.

Indian Army neutralised three militants who tried to cross over to the Indian side along the LOC on Sept 16 in J&amp;K's Baramulla sector.&nbsp;
While making a joint statement, a top Army and Kashmir police officer said that one militant was killed in the morning after a two-hour long gunflight, while the others were killed in another gunfight which took place after a few hours.
The army used UBGLs, MBGLs, and rocket launchers to neutralise infiltrating terrorists.
Brigadier PMS Dhillon during the presser said, the third militant got gunfire cover from Pakistan Army.&nbsp;
"It's noteworthy that the Pakistan Army gave fire support to the injured terrorist and fired at us as well. The Pakistan Army also fired at our quadcopters," said Brigadier Dhillon.
Meanwhile, a huge cache of arms and ammunition and currencies, both Indian and Pakistani, were recovered by the Indian Army and J&amp;K Police, from the terrorists who tried to infiltrate and were engaged by alert troops, earlier today.

Pakistan Army's headquarters in Rawalpindi and Corps Commander's house in Lahore were attacked last week

Pakistan Army resolves not to exercise restraint during attack on military installations

The Pakistan Army's top brass has vowed to bring to justice the "spoilers" involved in the recent attacks on military installations through trials, including stringent the Pakistan Army Act and the Official Secret Act.

Pakistan Army's headquarters in Rawalpindi and Corps Commander's house in Lahore were attacked last week

The Pakistan Army's top brass has vowed to bring to justice the "spoilers" involved in the recent attacks on military installations, including the storming of its General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, through trials, including stringent the Pakistan Army Act and the Official Secret Act.
Former prime minister Imran Khan's arrest by the Rangers at the Islamabad High Court premises last Tuesday triggered unrest in Pakistan that continued till Friday and led to several deaths and dozens of military and state installations being destroyed by the protesters.
For the first time in the country's history, Khan&rsquo;s supporters stormed the Army headquarters in Rawalpindi and torched the historic Corps Commander's House in Lahore in retaliation to his dramatic arrest.
The Pakistan Army's move to include the tough Army Act and the Official Secrets Act is a serious provision in which Khan and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters could be slapped with charges that can lead to either a death sentence or life imprisonment.
A Special Corps Commanders Conference, chaired by Army Chief General Asim Munir at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, also resolved that restraint will no longer be exercised against perpetrators who attack military installations, according to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) -- the media wing of the Pakistan Army on Monday.
The participants of the Special Corps Commanders Conference condemned the politically motivated and instigated incidents against military installations and public and private properties, the statement said.
"Based on the irrefutable evidence collected so far, Armed Forces are well aware of the planners, instigators, abettors, and perpetrators of these attacks, and attempts to create distortions in this regard are absolutely futile,&rdquo; the statement said.

The defence ministry officials said that the current economic situation of the country was also affecting the Army.

Pakistan Army refuses to do election duty, says 'priority is...'

Pakistan: army to not be available for election duty, Defence Ministry tells Election Commission

Defence ministry officials said that the current economic situation of the country was also affecting the Army.

The Pakistan Army considers security of borders as its first priority and will not be available for poll duty in the upcoming provincial elections due to the "current situation" in the country, the defence ministry has informed the election commission.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) held back-to-back meetings with top Punjab officials and the secretary and additional secretary of the federal defence ministry to discuss security for the elections.
Elections in the Punjab province of Pakistan are scheduled to be held on April 30, while in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the governor has proposed to hold elections in the province on May 28.
Defence Secretary Lt Gen (retd) Hamood Uz Zaman Khan led a team of his ministry in a meeting chaired by the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) said in a press statement on Tuesday that the defence secretary along with Additional Secretary Maj Gen Khurram Sarfraz Khan briefed the CEC and ECP officials on the country&rsquo;s prevalent situation and the military&rsquo;s deployment.
&ldquo;They said that the Army attaches importance to its basic duties, in which the security of the borders and the country is its first priority. They said that the Army is not available for election duty at this time due to the present situation in the country,&rdquo; the ECP statement read.
The defence secretary also said that finally, it would be the government&rsquo;s decision if it wanted to keep the military restricted to its primary duties or appoint it for secondary tasks such as election-related duties.
&ldquo;They also clarified that in case of election duty, the Army can be deployed in quick reaction force mode but it is not possible to perform duty in static mode,&rdquo; according to the statement.
The defence ministry officials said that the current economic situation of the country was also affecting the Army.

Army personnel traditionally have played a key role in keeping the peace during elections.
However, the attacks by the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan rebels have increased in recent months, forcing the Army to make adjustments in its deployment of troops.
Without Army troops, it may be difficult to maintain law and order during elections.
Pakistan has been witnessing a sharp rise in terror incidents in the last few months, which have taken the lives of several people, prompting the security forces have upped the ante against militants across the country.

Pakistan govt has stopped salary, bill payments amid economic crisis, says report

The Shehbaz Sharif government is currently battling with low foreign exchange reserves, a plummeting currency, electricity outages, and consequent political instability.

Pakistan's economic crisis hit a new low on 25 February 2023 with the government ordering the halting of payment of bills and salaries, according to a news report.
Pakistan's Ministry of Finance and Revenue ordered the Accountant General of Pakistan Revenues (AGPR) to stop clearing bills of federal ministries and departments, according to sources quoted by The News International.
However, salaries and pensions of defence-related institutions were already cleared for March 2023, as per the report.
The Shehbaz Sharif government is currently battling with low foreign exchange reserves, a plummeting currency, electricity outages, and consequent political instability.
Finance Minister Dar while meeting on February 22 with a delegation of Rothschild and Co had said "the government was steering the economy towards stability and growth". He added that "the government is committed to completing the IMF programme and fulfilling all international obligations".
Dar's commitment to unlocking the IMF tranche was visible on February 20 when the national assembly had unanimously approved the Finance (Supplementary) Bill 2023 or "mini-budget" - a move mandatory for seeking funding. The bill increases sales tax from 17 to 25 per cent on imports ranging from cars and household appliances to chocolates and cosmetics. A general sales tax was raised from 17 to 18 per cent.
"The prime minister will also unveil austerity measures in the next few days," the minister told the lower house of parliament as the bill was passed, adding "we will have to take difficult decisions".

The Kargil war - in Pervez Musharraf's imagination, it was an opportunity to go down as one of the greatest in history books. In reality, it was a moment of utter humiliation for the entire nation of Pakistan.
The Kargil conflict was a 60-day war which took place between May and July 1999. It occurred in the Kargil-Drass sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
The war began with infiltration from the Pakistan-controlled side. Islamabad initially blamed terrorists, but subsequently, it was proven that Pakistan army soldiers were part of the operation.
Over 500 Indian soldiers were killed in the action, but Indian eventually claimed victory on July 26, 1999. The day is celebrated as Vijay Diwas every year.
As Pakistan army chief, Pervez Musharraf had masterminded the Kargil operation. Musharraf had reportedly presented a similar plan to Benazir Bhutto when she was Prime Minister, but she had rejected it.
Eventually, Musharraf launched the operation when Nawaz Sharif was in power. The Pakistani general wanted to catch India off-guard, and quickly capture territory.
Musharraf thought that once the war started, the West would be forced intervene to prevent a wider conflict between two nuclear powers, and a ceasefire would cement Pakistan's territorial gains.
However, the plan back-fired as India responded fiercely, and decimated Pakistani forces. Years later, one of Nawaz Sharif's close aides claimed that Musharraf had launched the war to derail India-Pakistan talks.

Pervez Musharraf was born on August 11, 1943 in undivided India's Delhi. After Partition in 1947, his family moved to Pakistan. The son of a career diplomat, he chose a life in the armed forces. Musharraf fought in the 1965 and 1971 India-Pakistan wars.
After serving in the artillery, the infantry, and commando units, and teaching stints at the Staff College in Quetta and the War Wing of the National Defence College, Musharraf finally reached the top office. He was appointed chief of army staff in October 1998 by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
A year later, Musharraf overthrew Sharif, and snatched power in a bloodless coup. In 2001, he declared himself the President of Pakistan. A year later, elections were held but after disqualification of Sharif, and Benazir Bhutto.
In 2007, Musharraf's re-election bid led to a clash with the judiciary. The dictator sacked the Chief Justice, imposed emergency, and arrested Opposition leaders.
However, in the 2008 elections, Musharraf's party fared badly. Subsequently, the Sharif-Zardari coalition pursued Musharraf's impeachment leading to his resignation as President in August 2008.
Musharraf tried to make a political comeback in 2013, but was arrested under various cases. Three years later, the former dictator went to Dubai for medical treatment. In 2018, it came to light that Musharraf was suffering from amyloidosis.
In 2019, he was sentenced to death after being found guilty of high treason for subverting the Constitution in 2007. Musharraf's execution was considered unlikely as he was not expected to return to Pakistan from Dubai. A year later, the conviction and death sentence were overturned.
On June 10, Musharraf's family tweeted from his account that had been hospitalised for 3 weeks due to a complication of his ailment. The statement said that Musharraf was going through a difficult stage where recovery was not possible and his organs were malfunctioning.

Pakistan govt plans stricter punishment for 'ridiculing' Army, judiciary: watch details of legislation

The proposed legislation states that anyone who ridicules or scandalises the Army or judiciary will face a prison sentence of upto 5 years, or a fine of Rs 1 million, or both.

In a fresh crackdown on freedom of speech in Pakistan, the Shehbaz Sharif government has reportedly prepared a bill to curb criticism of the military and the judiciary.
The proposed legislation states that anyone who ridicules or scandalises the Army or judiciary through any medium will face a prison sentence of upto 5 years, or a fine of Rs 1 million, or both. Further, the accused can be arrested without a warrant, and the offence will be non-bailable and non-compoundable.
The cabinet summary states that recently the country has witnessed a spate of scandalous, derogatory and vicious attacks on certain institutions of the state, including the judiciary and armed forces, according to news outlet Dawn, as reported by PTI.
It adds that it is well-known that a deliberate cyber campaign has been launched by certain wings for self-serving motives with the objective of inciting and nurturing hatred against important state institutions and their officials, the report said.
It also states that such attacks are focused on undermining the integrity, stability and independence of the country&rsquo;s state institutions. The summary says that judicial and army officials do not have the opportunity to step forward and negate scandalous, derogatory remarks while appearing in the media.

Polls were rigged to install Imran Khan govt by 2 army generals: Nawaz Sharif

Nawaz Sharif held ex-Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and ex-Director General of Inter-Services Intelligence Lt Gen Faiz Hamid responsible for spinning Pakistan around for their personal wishes and whims, the Geo News reported.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif has blamed the ex-Army chief and ex-ISI head for the current turmoil in the country by rigging the 2018 general elections and installing Imran Khan-led government.
The former prime minister held ex-Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and ex-Director General of Inter-Services Intelligence Lt Gen Faiz Hamid responsible for spinning Pakistan around for their personal wishes and whims, the Geo News reported.
Talking to the media on Thursday in London after meeting with a delegation of senior PML-N leaders from Pakistan, Sharif recalled his 2016 Gujranwala speech at the PML-N public gathering where he directly accused the ex-military men of rigging elections to make way for installing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government in 2018.
At the time, Sharif blamed the military top brass for installing PTI's Khan as the prime minister in violation of the Constitution, removing his government, muzzling the media, pressurising the judiciary, and victimising opposition politicians, the report said.
When asked if he held Gen Bajwa and Gen Hamid responsible for the state of the country, he said: &ldquo;The reality is before everyone. Now no name or face is hidden. Pakistan was used for personal gain. It was a cruel joke played on the nation." "Lt Gen (retd) Faiz and Gen (retd) Bajwa were responsible for making it all about their personalities, wishes, and desires," the 73-year-old Sharif said.
He said that the people of Pakistan are well aware of the &ldquo;faces and characters of the two retired generals who are believed to be behind implementing the Tabdeeli project originally envisioned by former intelligence chiefs General (retd) Shuja Pasha, General (retd) Zaheer-ul-Islam and their colleagues." "It is my responsibility to tell the nation about the wrongs committed against the people, and it is my responsibility to make things right,&rdquo; Sharif was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper.
Talking about the meeting with his daughter and PML-N senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz and party leaders, Sharif said that he discussed Pakistan&rsquo;s current situation with them.
&ldquo;Inshallah, all will be well. Pakistan will come out of the difficulties and we will make sure that happens. Our track record of progress is a witness and it&rsquo;s not possible that we will not make that happen," he said.
The PML-N meeting comes at a time of heightened political activity in Pakistan as both Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assemblies dissolved.
Calling the PTI chief Imran Khan a "mad man", Nawaz said, &ldquo;Compare his [performance during the] four years of [PTI] government with four years of our government and you will see how happy and prosperous people were in two tenures and how he [Khan] destroyed Pakistan,&rdquo; Nawaz was quoted as saying.
He further added that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) took over the government after winning the vote of no-confidence to &ldquo;save Pakistan from this madman&rdquo; because &ldquo;he had created a catastrophic situation for Pakistan.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif appealed to Pakistan's President to not make the appointment "controversial" and endorse the Prime Minister's decision.

Pakistan Army's new chief announced, but Shehbaz Sharif govt fears hurdles by President

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif appealed to Pakistan's President to not make the appointment "controversial" and endorse the Prime Minister's decision.

After months of speculation on whether General Qamar Javed Bajwa will step down as the chief of Pakistan's Army or cause a fresh power tussle, the issue was put to rest on 24 November 2022.
The Shehbaz Sharif government announced the name of the next chief of the Pakistan Army, thus signalling Bajwa's retirement. Lieutenant General Asim Munir has been chosen as Bajwa's successor.
However, a storm may still be brewing as Defence Minister appealed to Pakistan's President to not make the appointment "controversial" and endorse the Prime Minister's decision. Minister Khawaja Asif said that the issue should not be seen through a "political lens" as the decision was taken according to law and Constitution.
General Bajwa is retiring after he got a 3-year extension in 2019 by the then-government led by Imran Khan.

In the 6 years that Bajwa was head of the Pakistan Army, the wealth of his family reportedly zoomed from paltry amounts to 12.7 billion Pakistani rupees, or around 460 crore in Indian rupees.

Who Wants To Be A Billionaire: Pakistan Army edition | How Bajwa's family prospered as nation struggled

In the 6 years that Bajwa was head of the Pakistan Army, the wealth of his family reportedly zoomed from paltry amounts to 12.7 billion Pakistani rupees, or around 460 crore in Indian rupees.

As the common people of Pakistan were struggling after devastating floods with followed the Covid pandemic, Pakistan Army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa was apparently busy making his family filthy rich.
In the 6 years that Bajwa was head of the Pakistan Army, the wealth of his family reportedly zoomed from paltry amounts to 12.7 billion Pakistani rupees, or around 460 crore in Indian rupees.
Here's a breakdown of the family's riches, and also the surprising reaction of the Pakistani government.
The wealth of the Bajwa family is in the headlines after a news report in an outlet called FactsFocus. Tax details of Pakistan Army's outgoing chief apparently show that Gen Bajwa's extended family became billionaires after 2016 when he took the top job. The wealth of many of his relatives went from zero to billions within a few short years. Bajwa's family acquired Rs 12.7 billion in various types of assets and businesses. These properties and businesses are based both inside and outside Pakistan.
Here's how the financial status of Bajwa's wife, daughter-in-law, and others changed.
Ayesha Amjad, the wife of General Bajwa, was not filing tax returns when her husband became a Lieutenant General. Her wealth was zero in 2016, but increased to Rs 2.2 billion in 2022 according to her tax information. This amount excludes houses, residential plots, and commercial plots given to Bajwa by the Pakistan Army.
Next is Mahnoor Sabir, who is Bajwa's daughter-in-law. Her wealth was zero in October 2018, but rose Rs 1.2 billion just a month later, when she was getting married. Her tax filings in 2018 said the properties had been acquired between 2014 and 2016, but not declared. Mahnoor also became the manager of an oil company named Taxx Petroleum Pakistan in November 2019.
The tax returns of Sabir 'Mithu' Hameed - Bajwa's friend and the father-in-law of his eldest son - were less than Rs 1 million in 2013. However, in subsequent years, his wealth reportedly rose to billions. Sabir and his brother Nasir are also directors in Taxx Petroleum Pakistan.
Then there is Hamna Naseer, the sister of Bajwa's daughter-in-law. She had zero assets in 2016, but it rose to billions by the next year.
These are just the known and declared amounts. FactsFocus said that it was not able to get details of Bajwa's two sons.
The family's declared assets reportedly include an international business, farmhouses in Islamabad and Karachi, a massive real estate portfolio in Lahore, multiple foreign properties, commercial plazas, and commercial plots.
The Shehbaz Sharif government in Pakistan had an interesting reaction to the revelations. Instead of questioning how Bajwa's family acquired so much wealth, the government targeted the news portal.
The Pakistani government ordered a probe into the leaking of Bajwa family's financial details. The Finance Minister called leakage of the tax information "illegal" and "unwarranted". The Minister said that the incident violated tax information's confidentiality, and ordered an investigation by Special Assistant to Pakistan PM on Revenue.
Meanwhile, the news publication - FactsFocus - has claimed that after releasing the story, traffic on its website was disrupted, and the site was also banned in Pakistan.
The common people of Pakistan have been suffering under austerity measures imposed by the IMF for helping the economy. This has exacerbated the hardships caused by the Covid pandemic, and the recent floods.
In such a situation, if the chief of Pakistan's Army was misusing his position to make his own family richer, and the government fails to investigate this, then it will only reinforce the perception that Pakistan's elected government is just a puppet of the military.

Six Pakistan Army officials, including two majors, were killed in a helicopter crash in southwestern Balochistan province, the military said on Monday, the second such incident after another military helicopter crashed in the same province last month.
The crash occurred near Khost in the Harnai district of the province on Sunday night during a flying mission, it said.
All the "six personnel on board, including 2 pilots" were killed in the crash, the Army said.
No reason for the crash was given.
The accident comes more than a month after a similar incident occurred in Balochistan on August 1 when a Pakistan Army helicopter crashed, killing all six personnel, including a Lieutenant General, on board.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistani military, said on Monday that 39-year-old Major Khurram Shahzad (pilot) and 30-year-old Major Muhammad Muneeb Afzal (pilot) were among those killed in the crash.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he was deeply grieved and prayed for the deceased and their family members.
He said the entire nation shared the grief of the bereaved.
Former prime minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party leader Fawad Chaudhry said helicopter flying was getting dangerous in the country, adding that it required “engineering evaluation”.
“Too many crashes […] rest in peace bravehearts. All were too young to die,” he said.

In a fresh political controversy in Pakistan, a former minister was claimed to have been "kidnapped" by police. Shireen Mazari, who was a member of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's cabinet, was arrested on May 21.
Mazari has been criticising the Pakistan Army since Imran Khan lost the PM chair in a no-confidence motion in April 2022. Shireen Mazari's daughter Imaan accused police of beating up and abducting her mother, stating, "My mother was kidnapped, I won't say arrested. When the police arrest someone, they inform you on what charge the person is taken away for."
Imran Khan slammed his successor Shehbaz Sharif for the arrest. Khan called Sharif's government "imported" and "fascist".

Pakistan ex-minister 'kidnapped' by police: Shireen Mazari's daughter's claim; Imran Khan slams Shehbaz Sharif

Shireen Mazari has been criticising the Pakistan Army ever since Imran Khan lost the PM chair in a no-confidence motion in April 2022.

In a fresh political controversy in Pakistan, a former minister was claimed to have been "kidnapped" by police. Shireen Mazari, who was a member of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's cabinet, was arrested on May 21.
Mazari has been criticising the Pakistan Army since Imran Khan lost the PM chair in a no-confidence motion in April 2022. Shireen Mazari's daughter Imaan accused police of beating up and abducting her mother, stating, "My mother was kidnapped, I won't say arrested. When the police arrest someone, they inform you on what charge the person is taken away for."

Are relations between 'iron brothers' China and Pakistan rusting? Does China believe that Pakistan can't be trusted to ensure the security of its citizens anymore?
It appears to be so, and it's bad news for Pakistan, especially at a time when international fault-lines are hardening.
A Pakistani lawmaker who recently met Chinese officials said that Beijing is "seriously concerned" and is "understandably indignant" regarding the recent Karachi terror attack, as per media outlet Dawn.
On April 26, a burqa-clad suicide bomber killed 3 Chinese nationals working at the Confucius Institute at the Karachi University. The Balochistan Liberation Army had claimed responsibility for the attack.
Recently, Pakistani senator Mushahid Hussain led a delegation to the Chinese embassy to express condolences over the Karachi incident. Mushahid told Dawn, "Chinese confidence in Pakistan&rsquo;s security system&rsquo;s ability to protect their citizens and their projects is seriously shaken. The pattern of attacks is so recurring and it&rsquo;s clear that Pakistani promises of &lsquo;foolproof security' are mere words, not matched by countermeasures on the ground."
The Karachi attack was the third one on Chinese nationals in Pakistan in a year. Meanwhile, the Pakistani establishment has denied reports that Chinese citizens were leaving en masse from the nation.

Pakistani investigators probing the suicide attack by a woman at the Karachi University that killed three Chinese teachers have not ruled out the presence of more female suicide bombers at sleeper cells of the outlawed Baluchistan Liberation Army, even as police in Lahore have arrested a suspect from Punjab University in connection with the bombing.
On Tuesday, an explosion triggered by a burqa-clad woman suicide bomber from the Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA) ripped through a van of the Confucius Institute at the prestigious University of Karachi, leaving three Chinese teachers dead and one injured, in the latest targeted attack against Chinese citizens in Pakistan.
Following the incident, the banned BLA took to social media to claim responsibility and announce that the bomber was a woman named Shaari Baloch who was highly educated mother of two young children, belonging to a well-established family and working as a school teacher in her native Turbat, Balochistan.
The Anti-Terrorism Department of the Sindh Police also identified the bomber who was born in Turbat in 1991 but settled in Kech district of the restive Baluchistan province.
“Initial investigations confirmed she was part of the banned Majeed brigade, a part of the BLA which has brainwashed these suicide bombers,” an official of the Anti-Terrorism Department said.
“We are looking into possiblities that there might be more female suicide bombers brainwashed to become part of the Majeed Brigade and waiting in sleeper cells," he said.
He confirmed that initial investigations had shown that Shari Baloch did not carry out the attack independently and was guided and helped by her handlers/facilitators, including a woman who met her at the entrance of the university and apparently briefed her before she went to the entrance of the Confucius Institute where she detonated herself as soon as the coaster van carrying the Chinese academics came.
“We suspect this operation was carried out with inside information,” the official said.
On Wednesday, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of Punjab Police have arrested a suspect from Lahore's Punjab University in connection with the suicide bombing at the Karachi University.
The intelligence agencies tracked down a suspect with whom Shari Baloch remained in contact by cellphone in Lahore and arrested him during a raid at a hostel of the Punjab University, a source in CTD told PTI on Thursday.
The suspect has been identified as Bebagr Imdad, a student of the seventh semester of English Literature in Numl, Islamabad. He also belongs to the area where Shaari Baloch lived.
"The agencies are picking up all those who remained in contact with Shaari before she blew herself up and Bebagr was one of them," he said.
A Punjab University spokesperson Khurram Shahzad told PTI that Bebagr had come to Lahore two days ago from Islamabad.
"On Tuesday, he visited his cousin at hostel 7 who is a history department student. On Wednesday, a security agency official approached the varsity administration and told it that it needed to take Bebagr into custody for his alleged link with the Karachi University bombing. The Punjab University obliged the request and now he is being interrogated," Shehzad said.
Some 300 students from Balochistan are currently studying at the Punjab University.
The security agencies are now searching for the husband of Shari Baloch, Dr Haibatan, who was apparently doing a public health course at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) and was staying at a nearby hotel. However, his wife lived in Gulistan-i-Jauhar with her two children.
Counter-Terrorism Department official Raja Umar Khatab said that Shari Baloch and her husband had left their places a week before the attack and the husband’s whereabouts were not known. Raids were being carried out to find the husband and other facilitators, he said.
The CTD official also made it clear that Shari Baloch was not a student at the KU and in fact had done her BE and ME from the University of Balochistan and had also worked as a government teacher.
The officer said that the outlawed BLA had claimed responsibility for the attack and shared details about the attacker on their social media platforms. “We also suspect the involvement of a hostile foreign agency in this attack,” he said.
Meanwhile, the members of Baloch Student Council at Punjab University held a demonstration outside the varsity and demanded release of Bebagr. They said the “abduction of Bebagr" was part of ongoing disappearances and harassment of the Baloch students in the country. They said they would continue their protest till the release of Bebagr from the agencies' custody.
The suicide bombing at the Karachi University seems to be the harbinger of a 'new and unexpected dimension' in the dynamics of terrorism in Pakistan, particularly the Baloch insurgency.
Meanwhile, Additional Police Surgeon at the Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Hospital Dr Summaiya Syed said that the four people who were injured in the bomb blast, including a fourth Chinese teacher, Wang Yuqing, are out of danger.
Those killed in the suicide bombing included three Chinese faculty members and their Pakistani driver, Khalid Nawaz.
In the FIR lodged about the incident by SHO Basharat Hussain, the BLA Majeed Brigade militant commanders Bashir Zaib and Rehman Gul and others were involved in the attack.
The FIR says the BLA wanted to undermine relations between Pakistan and China and get publicity for their outlawed outfit through terrorist acts, the FIR added.
The security forces on Thursday raided the house of the father of the bomber in a society located in Karachi’s Scheme 33. Laptops and other evidence, including documents, were seized during the raid.
The Security agencies in Balochistan on Wednesday also searched the apartment of the suicide bomber in Gulistan-e-Johar and sealed it afterwards. The apartment was rented and the bomber had been living there for the last three years.
The Karachi University reopened for the first time on Thursday after the suicide attack.
The university's spokesperson said that administrative affairs and the teaching process in the university will continue as usual. However, the Confucius Institute will remain closed until clearance from the Chinese embassy.
Newly-appointed Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari visited the Chinese embassy in Islamabad shortly after he took charge on Wednesday.
Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb told a press conference that the government was reviewing the National Action Plan against terrorism and would bring the perpetrators of the Karachi bombing to justice.
China has demanded stern action against the militant organisations behind the attack. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin during a media briefing asked Pakistan to scale-up security for its nationals working in the country and demanded a thorough investigation and punishment to the perpetrators behind the suicide attack.
The attack that too by a woman suicide bomber from BLA, which is vocally opposing the USD 60 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), sent shock waves in China as it highlights deep rooted opposition to Chinese projects. Balochistan, bordering Iran and Afghanistan, is home to a long-running violent insurgency. Baloch insurgent groups have previously carried out several attacks targeting the CPEC projects.
Thousands of Chinese personnel are working in Pakistan on a host of projects being carried out under the aegis of the CPEC.

Days after his removal as the Prime Minister, Imran Khan apparently targeted Pakistan's Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
Addressing workers of his political party, Khan spoke about the institutions of the country being against him.&nbsp;Khan said that if one or two persons commit a mistake, the entire institution can't be blamed.
Khan said, "Institutions are run by people. If one person inside the institution commits a mistake, the entire institution is not responsible. If you talk about the Election Commission, there is no doubt that the current Election Commissioner is anti-PTI. EC's judgments have been against the law."
This is believed to have been a jibe at Bajwa, while trying to suggest that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, or PTI, does not have a problem with the powerful Army.
Imran Khan was ousted from the Prime Minister's office on April 10 after losing a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly.&nbsp;In the run-up to the vote, Khan had alleged a foreign conspiracy against him, hinting at America's role.
Imran Khan is believed to have run afoul of the Army after he opposed Bajwa's choice as Pakistan's spymaster.&nbsp;Khan eventually agreed to appoint Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum as the ISI chief, but relations with the Army soured.
The Pakistani army has long been accused of pulling the strings of the country's political establishment.&nbsp;The Army has also ruled Pakistan directly for around half of its independent history.

Pakistani military claimed successful testing of its Shaheen-III missile on April 9. The announcement came even as the country grappled with political turmoil, and the National Assembly met for a no-confidence motion against the Imran Khan government
The Shaheen-III is a surface-to-surface ballistic missile. It has a range of 2,750 km, making it capable of reaching India's northeast, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, according to Pakistani media outlet Dawn. The Shaheen-III was first tested in March 2015.
The missile reportedly has a solid-fuel system for rapid response. It also has a Post-Separation Altitude Correction system, for better trajectory and evasion of anti-missile defence systems, according to the Dawn report.
The Pakistani army claimed that the latest test was "aimed at revalidating various design and technical parameters of the weapon system". After the successful test, Pakistani military personnel were seen celebrating and raising religious slogans in the official video.
