Dr. Zahid explained that terrorists have been communicating in chat groups within PUBG, knowing that these chats are not monitored, which allows them to operate covertly. A recent joint operation by Swat Police and the Counter Terrorism Department led to the arrest of three individuals involved in a bombing at the Navekelay police post, with crucial evidence, including weapons and devices containing PUBG, recovered.
The DPO emphasized Swat Police’s readiness to address security challenges and their commitment to maintaining peace in the region, assuring the public that their safety will be prioritized.
