In a significant move against terrorism-related activities, a major operation was carried out in Islamabad by a civil intelligence agency in collaboration with the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD). As a result of this coordinated effort, a key member of a banned organization’s media cell, identified as Hassan, was arrested. Sources reveal that Hassan was actively involved in spreading fear by producing and uploading videos on social media platforms that featured members of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). His digital content aimed to glorify terrorist acts and incite unrest among the public.
Hassan’s activities included recording videos at sensitive locations such as the Jinnah Convention Centre and other public venues in Islamabad. These videos were intended for circulation on social media as part of a broader propaganda campaign. The authorities also recovered video recording equipment, a laptop, and a mobile phone from Hassan’s possession during the operation. These digital tools are believed to have played a key role in his efforts to assist the banned organization by producing and disseminating extremist content online.
Acting on a credible intelligence tip-off, the agencies tracked and arrested Hassan, who had been operating covertly while promoting the agenda of the terrorist group. His arrest has not only disrupted a media wing of the banned outfit but also uncovered ongoing attempts to exploit social media as a tool for radicalization and spreading terror. The operation is being seen as a major success for law enforcement and intelligence units committed to maintaining national security.
Hassan is currently in custody, and further investigation is ongoing. Authorities expect significant revelations in the coming days as they interrogate the accused and examine the digital evidence recovered. His capture marks a serious blow to the media and propaganda networks of extremist groups operating in Pakistan and highlights the continued efforts by security agencies to combat terrorism at every level.
