The arrest of five Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) activists in Pakistan's Punjab province sparked speculation here that the outlawed terror group's chief Maulana Masood Azhar had been detained. The five JeM members were arrested in Sialkot on Tuesday.

Soon after the arrests were made, unconfirmed reports said officials of intelligence agencies had arrested Azhar, who is wanted in India for alleged involvement in several terror attacks.
