The alleged Indian agent, identified as Mujtaba, who was arrested in Lahore, was found in possession of explosive materials, weapons, and blueprints of important buildings.

The CTD officials said explosives, two hand-grenades, six IEDs (improvised explosive devices), and 36 detonators were seized from the terrorists.
