Unconfirmed Reports and Social Media Reactions

A user on social media exclaimed, “BIG BREAKING NEWS – As per unconfirmed reports, a Most wanted terrorist, Kandhar hijacker Masood Azhar, has been killed in a bomb explosion by Unknown Men at 5 am.” Another netizen humorously thanked the ‘Unknown men’ for what they referred to as a New Year gift, implying Azhar’s death.

Backdrop of Recent Eliminations in Pakistan

This development comes after Maulana Rahimullah Tariq, Azhar’s right-hand man, was shot dead in Pakistan in November 2023. The region has seen a spate of killings of wanted terrorists by unidentified assailants, leading to speculation about the involvement of India’s spy agency RAW.

Masood Azhar’s Notorious Legacy

Azhar, known for orchestrating numerous terror attacks including the 2001 Parliament attack, the 2005 Ram Janambhoomi temple attack in Ayodhya, and the Pulwama attack on Indian armed forces in February 2019, reportedly lived under the protection of the Pakistani deep state in Islamabad.
