Pakistan accuses India of involvement in Sarabjit Singh's Murderer's Killing
Lahore: Pakistan's interior minister, Mohsin Naqvi, has made allegations similar to those made by Canada, suggesting India's involvement in the targeted killing of ISI associate Amir Sarfaraz, also known as Tamba. This incident occurred just over five years after Sarfaraz's acquittal in the 2013 murder case of Indian death-row prisoner Sarabjit Singh.
Naqvi, addressing a press conference in Lahore, highlighted a pattern in the fatal attack carried out by two assailants on motorcycles, stating, "India is suspected to have been involved in four other murders (on Pakistan soil). We await the conclusion of the investigation before making further statements."
Authorities stated that Tamba was in his residence in Lahore when the attackers arrived. He was shot from close proximity and later succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.
Tamba and his alleged accomplice, Mudasir Munir, were involved in the fatal attack on Sarabjit Singh at Kot Lakhpat prison in April 2013. However, a sessions court in Lahore acquitted Tamba and Munir of the charge of killing Singh in December 2018, ordering their release after witnesses retracted their statements.
Earlier this year, Islamabad claimed to possess credible evidence implicating Indian operatives in the murder of two of its nationals within its borders, an assertion that New Delhi dismissed as an endeavor to propagate "untrue and malicious anti-India narratives".
In separate incidents last year, both Canada and the United States accused Indian operatives of involvement in assassination attempts on their respective territories. India refuted the accusations from Canada and initiated an investigation into the allegations made by the United States.

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.
His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
