In a significant development, a top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist — reportedly involved in at least three major terror attacks in India — has been neutralised in Pakistan’s Sindh province.
Sources in Indian intelligence agencies confirmed that the terrorist, whose name is being withheld for operational reasons, was a key handler and mastermind operating from Pakistan. He is believed to have orchestrated deadly attacks on Indian soil, including planning logistics, funding modules, and coordinating with local operatives.
While Pakistan is yet to issue any official confirmation, intelligence inputs suggest the terrorist was killed in a targeted operation in Sindh earlier this week. His death is being seen as a major blow to Lashkar’s external operations wing, which has long been accused of planning attacks against India from across the border.
A History of Violence
The slain terrorist is suspected to be involved in:
A high-casualty attack on Indian security forces in Jammu and Kashmir
The recruitment and training of cross-border infiltrators
Financing sleeper cells in major Indian cities
India Watching Closely
While Indian authorities have not formally commented on the nature of the killing, they are closely monitoring the developments. Officials said the death could trigger temporary disarray within Lashkar’s Pakistan-based command structure.
This comes amid growing global pressure on Pakistan to dismantle terror safe havens and act against UN-designated terrorists.
Further verification and official details from both sides are awaited.
Intelligence sources believe the terrorist had deep links with ISI handlers and played a crucial role in radicalising youth in the Kashmir Valley through digital propaganda. His elimination, they say, is not only a tactical success but could also weaken Lashkar’s recruitment and funding chain. Investigative agencies are now probing whether his death was a result of an internal power tussle.
