The Indian government has been involved in killing people in Pakistan since its adoption of a recent strategy to eliminate threats to Indian governments on foreign soil.
A report printed in The Guardian revealed that India’s foreign intelligence agency allegedly began killing ‘hostiles’ as part of its new national security strategy in 2019, after the Pulwama attack in India when it was decided in Indian security circles that they needed a pre-emptive strategy.
Recently, intelligence officials in Pakistan claimed almost 20 killings have been committed by Indian government on Pakistani soil. Mostly, people related to the Khalistani movement or Kashmir militant groups, have been targeted.
Indian officials also stated that their new rogue strategy was inspired by the 2018 killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Turkish soil. “What the Saudis did was very effective. You not only get rid of your enemy but send a chilling message, a warning to the people working against you,” he said.
The killings in Pakistan are carried out by Indian intelligence sleeper cells in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). For instance, in the case of killing of Shahid Latif, the commander of Jaish-e-Mohammed, there were many failed attempts to kill him but ultimately it was an illiterate 20-year-old Pakistani who carried out the assassination in Pakistan in October, allegedly recruited by RAW in the UAE, where he was working for a minimal salary in an Amazon packing warehouse.
