Pakistani scholar linked to Kulbhushan Jadhav's abduction shot dead
Mufti Shah Mir, a Pakistani scholar accused of aiding the ISI in the abduction of former Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav, was shot dead in Balochistan. Mir was known for his connections to terror activities and had survived previous assassination attempts. Jadhav, sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on espionage charges in 2017, has been a focal point of India-Pakistan tensions, with India asserting that he was denied a fair trial. The circumstances surrounding Mir’s death highlight ongoing instability within Pakistan and the complex interplay of its internal security and support for anti-India activities, which further complicate the regional security landscape.
