DRDO Submits Report on Seizure of Suspicious Items Linked to Pakistan’s Nuclear Program

Government sources revealed that a team from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) submitted its official report on Monday concerning the seizure of suspicious items suspected to be destined for Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program.

The report, compiled by DRDO experts, highlights that the seized large-size Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines possess dual-use capabilities, indicating their potential application in military contexts, according to the sources.

The interception of a Karachi-bound ship from China at Mumbai’s Nhava Sheva port raised concerns among security agencies regarding the nature of its cargo. The consignment is believed to contain items with implications for Pakistan’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, as per a source familiar with the matter.

The DRDO team, tasked with examining the consignment, focused on determining the potential military applications of the seized equipment. Primarily suspected to be linked to Pakistan’s nuclear initiatives, the items are believed to play a crucial role in manufacturing critical components for missile development.

The submission of the DRDO’s report marks a significant step in the ongoing investigation into the intercepted consignment. Authorities continue to closely monitor the situation as further insights from the report are expected to inform subsequent actions.
