Indian Agencies Crack Down on Exfiltration to PoK
Indian agencies have noticed that people from Jammu and Kashmir are trying to go to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan, just like in the 1990s.
They think Pakistan is luring these people with promises of money and better jobs.
The agencies believe these people will be used for bad things like smuggling drugs and helping terrorists come into India.
The ISI, Pakistan's intelligence agency, is using social media and mosques to spread messages and convince people to go to PoK.
Indian agencies are trying to stop this by seizing the property of people who help others go to PoK.
They also help people who regret going to PoK and want to come back to India.
Indian agencies have detected a resurgence of people from Jammu and Kashmir attempting to cross into PoK and Pakistan, similar to the 1990s.
Pakistani handlers like Rafiq Nai and Jamal Lone are accused of luring and aiding these exfiltrations for anti-India activities.
The ISI is using social media and mosque announcements to promise better livelihoods and lure locals, particularly youth, to PoK.
Exfiltrated individuals are expected to be used for narco-smuggling and as terror guides to help Pakistani terrorists infiltrate India.
Indian agencies have intensified crackdowns, seizing properties of involved handlers and facilitating the return of regretful exfiltrates.
