Yadav had also purchased boats at the Iranian port in Chabahar in order to target Karachi and Gwadar ports in a terrorist plot. According to Pakistani officials, Yadav is an expert at Naval fighting techniques.

He also admitted that RAW had been funding the Baloch separatists for the Balochistan insurgency. Yadav, in the video released by Pakistan said;

“I am still a serving officer in the Indian Navy and will be due for retirement in 2022. By 2002, I commenced intelligence operations. In 2003, I established a small business in Chabahar in Iran. As I was able to achieve undetected existence and visits to Karachi in 2003 and 2004 and, having done some basic assignments within India for RAW, I was picked up by RAW in 2013.”

In the video, Yadav revealed that he has been directing various activities in Karachi and Balochistan on instruction from RAW since 2013 and confessed of playing a role in deteriorating law and order situation of Karachi. While giving details of these activities, Yadav said; “These activities have been of anti-national or terrorist nature which resulted in the killing and wounding of Pakistani citizens.” However, India has rejected the video confession of Yadav. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju claimed, “It was a completely doctored video, fake video made by Pakistan. They are just cooking up stories and doctoring videos to defame India.
