Pakistani police officers stand at a checkpoint outside the Foreign Ministry where a conference for Afghan peace process is going on, on Monday, in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Authorities in Pakistan carried out raids at different places following attack on the Pathankot air base in India, leading to some arrests, intelligence officials said on Monday.

The raids were carried out in Gujranwala, Jhelum and Bahawalpur districts and an unspecified number of people were arrested.

After the arrests, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ordered the formation of a high-profile joint investigation team (JIT) to probe the alleged links of the Pathankot air base attackers with Pakistan, media reports said.

Amid uncertainty over talks between India and Pakistan following the attack, India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval said in an interview to Dainik Bhaskar that “there will be no peace talks with Pakistan until India is satisfied with its investigation of the Pathankot attacks.”

However, Doval was quick to deny having said that the talks were canceled, and told NDTV “we will talk only if Pakistan takes action”.

A Pakistani media report said that the initial findings of the investigation disclosed that the phone numbers provided by India were unregistered.

“Sharif is taking an active role in getting to the bottom of the Pathankot incident,” a source at Prime Minister’s House said. “He also discussed the issue with army chief Gen. Raheel Sharif and took him on board about the decision to form a JIT.”
