Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has announced the arrest of a digital marketing professional accused of running a social media misinformation network funded by India, including the promotion of sectarian violence and anti-army content. Tarar alleged the suspect communicated with an Indian operator via WhatsApp, received payments in small amounts to evade financial monitoring, and spread material largely focused on the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), a recently proscribed civil society group in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (the Pakistan-administered portion of the disputed Kashmir region) that has been organising protests over regional governance. The minister used the arrest to assert that JAAC has ties to India, a claim the government says it can now prove with "irrefutable evidence," though no independent verification of the allegations has been provided.
