Pakistan denies Bhatti network ISI link after India arrests 200

Pakistan denies Bhatti network ISI link after India arrests 200

India and Pakistan are neighboring countries that sometimes have big disagreements.

A leader in India, Amit Shah, said a group called the Shahzad Bhatti Network was planning dangerous attacks.

He said Pakistan's spy agency, called the ISI, was helping the group.

So India's security agencies did a big operation and arrested more than 200 people in 14 states.

They found bombs, guns, bullets, and cameras that might have been used to spy on important places.

This happened just before India's Independence Day on August 15.

India says the arrests stopped the group from hurting people around that day.

Pakistan says these claims are not true.

A Pakistani spokesperson said India was just trying to distract people from its own problems.

Indian investigators are still looking into the group's money and plans.
