NEW DELHI – Indian security forces recently impounded a Pakistan-bound vessel from China at Mumbai’s Nhava Sheva port on suspicion of carrying ‘military-grade items’. The examination revealed a ‘dual-use consignment’ that could potentially aid Islamabad’s nuclear and ballistics missile ambitions. A Computer Numerical Control machine, assessed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) to be critical for Pakistan’s missile development program, was the focal point of scrutiny. The detected consignment sparked concerns that China is possibly being utilized as a conduit for Pakistan to acquire restricted items from the US and Europe, while disguising identities to circumvent detection. This incident is part of a series of occurrences where India has intercepted similar dual-use military-grade items en route from China to Pakistan, highlighting the need for increased vigilance and regulation of such shipments.
