A Pakistani terror sympathiser accused of helping Pakistan’s ISI spy agency in kidnapping former Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav from Iran, was eliminated by unidentified gunmen in the restive Balochistan region on Friday night. Mufti Shah Mir was a terror sympathiser in the garb of religious scholar in Balochistan who had survived two earlier attempts on his life, reported local media.
He was ambushed by ‘unknown gunmen’ riding motorcycles while leaving a local mosque in Turbat after his night prayers, police said. He was shot multiple times at point blank range and died at the hospital on Friday.
Terorist Mir was a member of the fundamentalist party Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) who worked as an arms and human trafficker under the cover of a scholar, according to TOI. He was also close to the ISI. Reports suggest that he often visited terror camps in Pakistan and helped terrorists infiltrate into the Indian territory.
Two other members of Mir’s party were shot dead last week in Khuzdar, the third largest city in Balochistan.
The province has been witnessing deadly clashes and enforced disappearances of civilians, including activists, journalists, and politicians, allegedly by state forces. At least 18 securitymen and 23 terrorists were killed during clashes in this region earlier this year.
