Pakistan Claims Indian Hand In Killing Of Key Accused In Sarabjit Singh Murder Case: All About It

Mohsin Naqvi, Pakistan's interior minister, has raised allegations reminiscent of Canada's earlier claims, suggesting possible Indian involvement in the targeted killing of Amir Sarfaraz, also known as Tamba, an associate of Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI.

This incident comes over five years after Sarfaraz's acquittal in the 2013 murder case of Indian death-row prisoner Sarabjit Singh.

As reported by Economic Times, addressing a press conference in Lahore, where Sarfaraz resided, Naqvi highlighted a pattern in the fatal attack, carried out by two assailants on motorcycles.

"India is suspected to have been involved in four other murders on Pakistani soil. We await the conclusion of the investigation before making further statements," he stated.

However, there has been no response from the Indian government regarding these allegations.

Authorities reported that Tamba was at his residence in Lahore's Islampura area when the attackers arrived. Upon responding to the doorbell, he was promptly shot from close proximity.

On 14 December 2018, a sessions court in Lahore had acquitted Tamba and Munir of Singh's murder charge and ordered their release after all 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 dismissed by New Delhi as an endeavor to propagate untrue and malicious anti-India narratives.
