Masood Azhar, India's Most Wanted Terrorist, Spotted in PoK’s Skardu: Reports

New Delhi: India's most wanted and head of the terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Masood Azhar, was recently spotted in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir's Skardu, which is 1000 km away from his base in Bahawalpur.

Masood Azhar Spotted in PoK 

Fresh reports revealed that Masood Azhar, the UN-designated terrorist and chief of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), has been spotted in Skardu, located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of PoK. 

Azhar was seen in Sadpara, a quiet remote location known for its rocky mountain region. 

The reports of Azhar spotted in PoK come days after Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's claim saying Masood is hiding somewhere in Afghanistan. 

Skardu is a popular tourist area and Masood Azhar may use it as a low-profile hideout after India's Operation Sindoor.

India's Most Wanted

Jaish's Muhammad Masood Azhar Alvi is the mastermind behind several major terror attacks in India. Masood was behind 2016 Pathankot airbase attack. 

The 2019 Pulwama suicide bombing, which killed over 40 Indian soldiers was also an evil plan of Masood Azhar. 

India has provided multiple proofs to the international community, unmasking Pakistan over sheltering and nurturing these terrorists on their soil. 

IC-814 Hijack

Masood is a UN-designated terrorist. United Nations Security Council (UNSC) officially listed him as an international terrorist on May 1, 2019. 

Masood Azhar was arrested in the year 1994 from Kashmir's Anantnag. He had entered India using a fake Portuguese passport, which he had obtained in Bangladesh.

He was released from Indian custody in 1999 after terrorists hijacked the IC-814 and demanded Masood Azhar in return. After being released from India's custody, he founded JeM, a Pakistan-based terror organisation.

Pakistan’s Manufactured Lies
Member of the National Assembly of Pakistan, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari recently claimed Azhar may be in Afghanistan, and said Pakistan would be “happy to arrest him” if India provides credible proof of his presence on Pakistani soil.

Masood's movement in PoK reveal Pakistan's two-faced politics and manufactured lies. On one hand Pakistan claims to be the victim of terror attacks and on the other hand hide and nurture terrorists like Masood Azhar, who plan attacks and infiltration inside Indian territories.

Masood's movement in PoK's Skardu contradicts Bhutto’s claims and may increase pressure on Islamabad and global communities to act.
