According to the CTD, three raids were carried out as a result of a rise in terrorist activities in the city over the past month.

According to the CTD, the turbans had planned to target jamaat-khanas belonging to the Aga Khani community, imambargahs and shrines.

One Kalashnikov, five pistols, and a home-made bomb were recovered from the possession of the suspected terrorists.

The CTD also claimed to have dismantled two sleeper cells in the overnight raids.
