J&K: Terror operative flees to PoJK, his property seized in Poonch

Property of Jamal Lone attached by authorities in Poonch, J&K

Jammu, Jan 4 (NVI) As part of continued efforts to dismantle the architecture of Pakistan-supported terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, the state police has attached in Poonch district the immovable property belonging to Jamal Lone alias Jamala, a terror handler who is currently in Pakistan-occupied Jammu Kashmir (POJK) or in Pakistan.

While Jamal Lone, who has been declared a proclaimed offender, has run away across the Line of Control (LoC), he continued to own a piece of land in Chamber Kanari village of Mandi Tehsil in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.

This piece of land, measuring 6 Kanals 13.5 Marlas and worth Rs 13.36 lakh, has been seized under court orders related to FIR No. 07/2002 (E&IMCO Act).

Jamal Lone had earlier exfiltrated to Pakistan/PoJK and has since been actively involved in activities inimical to the security and sovereignty of the nation, Jammu and Kashmir Police said.

This is yet another action that sends out a signal to the terrorist operatives that they cannot escape accountability even if they run away from Jammu and Kashmir.

“Owing to his continued evasion of the legal process, the accused was declared a Proclaimed Offender by the Hon’ble Court,” said a statement by the Jammu and Kashmir Police.

“Despite sustained efforts by Poonch Police to secure his arrest, he remained beyond the reach of law, compelling the Hon’ble Court to order attachment of his immovable property. Acting upon these directions, the attachment was executed by Poonch Police in close coordination with the Revenue Department, after following all due legal procedures, verification, and documentation,” it said.

This action forms part of a broader and sustained strategy to dismantle the financial and logistical support structures of terror networks and to ensure that individuals involved in terrorism and anti-national activities are deprived of their resources, the police said.

The police reiterated its unwavering commitment to act firmly and lawfully against Pakistan-based terror handlers and all elements involved in activities prejudicial to national security, and assures the public that such measures will continue in the interest of peace, public safety, and sovereignty of the nation. (NVI)

Balochistan: Pakistani forces killed 20 Baloch civilians in fake encounters, abducted 95 in November

Paank is human rights body of Baloch National Movement (BNM)

Quetta, Jan 3 (NVI) As part of continued persecution in occupied Balochistan, the Pakistani military and affiliated agencies abducted 95 Baloch civilians and killed 20 in extrajudicial executions during the month of November 2025, according to a report.

Human rights organisation ‘Paank’, a unit of Baloch National Movement (BNM), in its latest report has stated that these incidents reflected a systematic pattern of repression by the Pakistani State, including arbitrary arrests, custodial torture, enforced disappearances, and extrajudicial killings in Balochistan.

“As a result, an atmosphere of fear and impunity has further intensified across Balochistan, with state institutions operating without accountability,” it said.

Paank reported that during November, cases of enforced disappearances and other serious human rights violations were documented not only in Balochistan but also in Karachi, the capital city of Sindh.

A total of 95 individuals were detained without warrants or legal proceedings and transferred to undisclosed locations, where they were denied access to their families, legal counsel, and the judicial system, it said.

Of these individuals, 21 were released after severe physical and psychological torture, the report mentions.

“Survivors reported being subjected to electric shocks, prolonged beatings, and death threats while in custody,” it said.

The report also highlights multiple incidents involving late-night raids carried out by state-backed death squads.

Extrajudicial killings are described as the most alarming aspect of the report.

According to Paank, at least 20 civilians—including laborers, students, young men, and a minor girl—were killed across various regions in November 2025.

District Kech emerged as the most affected area, where several bodies bearing marks of torture and gunshot wounds were recovered.

On November 1, a laborer named Bahad Baloch from the Kulaho area of Tump was stopped in the Dehaat area of Kech by armed individuals operating under state patronage. After confiscating his motorcycle and belongings, he was shot dead.

On November 2, a 16-year-old student, Abdul Rehman, was shot and killed inside a shop in Tump in front of his father.

The report also highlights a drone strike that took place on October 29 in the Bulida area, which resulted in the deaths of four young men from the same family—Zakir, Razaq, Sadiq, and Peer Jan.

Paank categorically rejected the Pakistan Army’s claim that the victims were armed militants.

According to local residents, the victims were unarmed civilians who were picnicking at the mountainous Jadeen area.

The report further states that the four individuals had informed a nearby Pakistan Army camp of their plans to go for a picnic and had received permission prior to the incident.

In Hoshap, a 16-year-old boy named Naseem Qadir was abducted from his home during the night, and his bullet-riddled body was found the following morning.

Meanwhile, Mir Dost—who had been forcibly disappeared since February 2025—was found dead after nine months in Turbat, bearing visible signs of severe torture.

According to the report, Farooq Naeem, who was arrested in April from the Talar checkpoint, was found dead seven months later in the Bank Kundag area of Kech, with clear evidence of brutal torture on his body.

The body of Zareef Baloch was also recovered from the same location; he had been forcibly disappeared since March 2025 and was reportedly killed in custody.

On November 18, Ismail Ibrahim was killed by gunfire from the Frontier Constabulary in Gawak, Mand.

On the same day, the body of Ismail Baloch—who had been abducted from Surab—was discovered the following day in the Baghbana area of Khuzdar.

In the Minaz area of Bulida, the mutilated body of Ayaz Baloch—who was abducted while returning from school—was recovered near Reko Dam, identifiable only through his clothing and shoes.

Ejaz Baloch was detained by the Frontier Corps from Kunchati, Dasht, and later transferred to a hospital in critical condition, where he succumbed to injuries caused by torture.

Other victims include Jalaluddin, Mohammad Alam, and Imran Baloch, who were abducted during wedding ceremonies by operatives of state-backed death squads.

A ransom of 20 million Pakistani rupees was demanded, and despite payment, their tortured bodies were later dumped.

In the final days of the month, the bodies of Abu Bakar and Tahir Baloch—both victims of long-term enforced disappearance—were recovered from different areas of district Kech.

On November 29, a shooting incident in the Garuk Bazaar area of Hoshap left a minor girl, Yasmeen Baloch, critically injured. She was transferred to Karachi for treatment but later died of her wounds, while three other children were injured.

Paank has called for independent and transparent investigations into all reported incidents, the prosecution of those responsible, and unrestricted access for international human rights organizations to monitor the situation in Balochistan to ensure the protection of civilians’ fundamental rights.

Quetta, Jan 3 (NVI) Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) tonight said it has eliminated a key agent of the occupying Pakistan Army in an attack in Panjgur district of Balochistan.

Zahid Muhammad Hussain, a key agent of so-called ‘death squad’ formed by occupying Pakistan army and its intelligence agencies, was targeted and killed in his hideout in Katagiri area of Panjgur on the night of January 1, BLA spokesman Jeeyand Baloch said in a statement.

The BLA freedom fighters also seized weapons of agent.

“Agent Zahid Hussain was on the hit list of Baloch Liberation Army due to his involvement in atrocities against Baloch people and acts against the national movement. Fighters eliminated agent Zahid and brought him to his logical end,” the spokesman said.

Zahid had been leading an armed gang called ‘death squad’ under the patronage of Pakistan army for a long time, BLA spokesman said.

“This gang led by Zahid was directly involved in assisting occupying army in violating the Baloch honor of walls and in forced disappearance of youth,” he added.

This gang had facilitated enemy army in military aggression under the guidance of agent Zahid, including targeted killing of youth in Panjgur, he said.

Moreover, occupying army had given this gang a free hand in social evils, including theft, dacoity and drug trafficking in the area, Jeeyand Baloch said.

Earlier, on December 28, Baloch Liberation Army freedom fighters targeted a foot patrol party of occupying Pakistan army in the Spilinji Marau area of Mastung district when they were trying to advance in the area, the spokesman said.

“Occupying army suffered casualties in the attack, while fighters also shot down a quadcopter belonging to enemy army,” he added. (NVI)

Afghanistan – Pakistan: Refugee predicament

By Sanchita Bhattacharya

On December 27, local authorities in the Swabi District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Province in Pakistan issued official notices ordering Afghan refugees residing in the Barakai Afghan and Gandaf Afghan camps to evacuate immediately and return to Afghanistan.

The decision is part of Pakistan’s broader policy to completely clear Afghan refugee camps by December 30, 2025. The notice stated that the process of fully dismantling the camps will begin on December 31, and refugees have been instructed to move their belongings, household items, and workspaces before that date.

The ongoing Afghan refugee repatriation from Pakistan is a three-phase plan. The official start of this drive was on September 26, 2023, when Pakistan’s Ministry of Interior issued the Illegal Foreigners’ Repatriation Plan (IFRP) targeting undocumented Afghans and, later, registered cardholders, initiating the policy to return Afghan nationals, including both undocumented migrants and holders of Afghan Citizen Cards (ACC) and UNHCR Proof of Registration (PoR) cards.

So far, IFRP has been divided into three phases by the Pakistan Government. In the first phase, which began in October 2023, unregistered or undocumented Afghan migrants were given a 30-day deadline to leave voluntarily or face deportation. This phase was accompanied by widespread arrests, harassment, and pressure on Afghan communities across Pakistan.

On April 1, 2025, Pakistan officially launched the second phase, targeting Afghan nationals holding ACCs issued between 2017 and 2019.

According to UNHCR’s Operational Update, Pakistan November, 2025, the implementation of these two phases saw major returns of over 1.1 million Afghans from urban areas and refugee villages as of July 2025.

The third phase, targeting holders of PoR commenced in September 2025 and has seen close to 166,000 PoR card holders return.

As of November 2025, over 1.82 million Afghans have returned to Afghanistan since the start of the IFRP.

In November alone, 171,055 have returned to Afghanistan, with 37,899 deportations registered.

As relations between Kabul and Islamabad soured after the Taliban’s return to power, Pakistan – once the Taliban’s principal benefactor – accused Kabul of sheltering the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the group behind a deadly spike in insurgent attacks in Pakistan’s border regions.

As reported on October 1, 2025, TTP attacks, mostly targeting Pakistani Police, Army, and Paramilitaries, over the past four years, have left more than 2,500 dead.

According to partial data collated by South Asia Terrorism Portal, in 242 incidents of killing involving TTP in 2025, 1,281 people were killed, including 83 civilians, 173 SF personnel and 1,025 militants (data till December 27).

In 2024, 291 people died in 87 incidents, including nine civilians, 71 SF personnel, and 211 militants.

In 2023, 158 people were killed in 66 incidents, including two civilians, 137 SF personnel, and 158 militants. 2022 registered 24 such incidents, in which 48 were killed, including three civilians, 17 SF personnel, and 28 militants.

In 2021, in 33 incidents, 61 people died, including six civilians, eight SF personnel, and 47 militants. Since 2021, consequently, there has been a sharp increase of 2,000 per cent in TTP orchestrated killing inside Pakistan.

On October 6, 2025, ACLED reported that TTP was engaged in 778 attacks in 2025 (till September 26) with North Waziristan, South Waziristan, Lakki Marwat, Dera Ismail Khan, Bajaur and Bannu in KP the worst affected districts, among others. The year 2024 recorded 617 such attacks; 2023 187 attacks; and 2022 158 attacks, respectively.

The harsh steps against Afghan refugees portray the entire migrant Afghan population as a potential threat to national security.

But these refugees have long been tangled in a web of human rights violations and systemic neglect. Reports of forced evictions and arbitrary detentions have been alarmingly common.

In a statement issued on January 7, 2025, Afghanistan’s Embassy in Pakistan said around 800 Afghans living in Islamabad had been detained by authorities. Refugee settlements, often makeshift and overcrowded, were subject to sudden demolitions, leaving thousands homeless and destitute.

For instance, as reported on October 15, 2025, over 300 Afghan houses and shops were
demolished during an operation near the Northern Bypass of Karachi.

Similarly, on October 31, 2023, authorities in Islamabad had demolished mud houses belonging to Afghan refugees.

Discrimination against Afghan refugees is deeply entrenched in Pakistani society. Refugees
encountered ethnic and racial hostilities.

As reported on January 2, 2025, there was a spike in racial profiling in Islamabad and Rawalpindi District of Punjab. Police were given free license to pick up whoever they wanted, and to extort and exploit them.

Earlier on November 24, 2024, Pakistan’s Interior Minister, Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, announced that Afghan nationals residing in Islamabad must obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) by December 31, 2024 or face expulsion from the city.

“No Afghan  national will be allowed to stay in Islamabad without an NOC after December 31,” Naqvi said.

Consequently, as reported on January 8, 2025, over 800 Afghans were detained in Islamabad after January 1, 2025.

Pakistan’s accelerated refugee evictions have immensely compounded the hardships of this
unfortunate population, and underscore deepening strains in Pakistan-Afghanistan relations that risk aggravating regional instability.

Without coordinated bilateral mechanisms and international support, forcible returns will fuel uncertainty, economic susceptibility, and further escalation of cross-border tensions.

NIA’s Pahalgam Chargesheet: The Anatomy of a Proxy War

Site in Pahalgam in Kashmir where Pakistani terrorists massacred 26 people on April 22, 2025

Column

By Ajmal Shah

The recent filing of a 1597 page chargesheet by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) regarding the April 2025 Pahalgam massacre is much more than a routine legal submission.

It stands as a calculated and definitive assertion of Indian sovereignty against a decades old machinery of terror.

This document provides an exhaustive forensic roadmap of a conspiracy that was conceived in foreign safe houses and executed in the Baisaran Valley of Kashmir.

By meticulously documenting every thread of the attack, the investigators have moved beyond mere rhetoric. They have constructed a fortress of truth that no amount of propaganda can dismantle.

The Forensic Demise of Plausible Deniability:

Justice in a modern democracy relies on the undeniable power of scientific proof. The investigation into the April 2025 attack, which saw militants use M4 carbines and AK-47 rifles against innocent tourists, was conducted under the rigorous standards of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam.

Investigators did not rely on hearsay but instead tracked the digital and financial trails of handlers like Sajid Saifullah Jatt in Lahore.

The evidence recovered is staggering in its specificity. Authorities found laminated voter identity cards from the Election Commission of Pakistan among the terrorists.

They also recovered micro SD cards containing NADRA biometric records that traced the family trees of the militants to specific residential addresses in Gujranwala in Pakistani Punjab.

Even mundane items, such as chocolates found in the possession of the attackers, were traced back to commercial consignments shipped to Muzaffarabad in Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, therefore serving as concrete proofs of state sponsored logistics.

Precision Over Collective Punishment:

A self-respecting nation demonstrates its strength through the precision of its laws rather than the blunt force of its military. In a region as vast as the Kashmir Valley, which is home to over seventy lakh people, the state charged only two local associates named Parvaiz and Bashir Ahmad Jothar.

This surgical approach in a district like Anantnag, with a population exceeding 12 lakhs shows how surgically the investigation has been conducted.

The Indian state utilised the scalpel of the law to excise only the specific malignant nodes of the terror network. Advanced ballistics analysis further solidified this case by matching cartridges from the Pahalgam crime scene to weapons recovered during Operation Mahadev in the Dachigam forest of Srinagar.

Unlike its neighbour, India builds airtight prosecutions in open civilian courts that rely on irrefutable scientific links rather than the coercion of witnesses.

A Legacy of Desertion and Deceit:

The context of this investigation is inseparable from a history of proxy conflict dating back to 1947.

Pakistan has a long standing tradition of disowning its own participants.

This pattern began with Major General Akbar Khan’s orchestrated invasion in 1947, which he later admitted was a state operation in his memoirs titled Raiders in Kashmir.

It continued through the failures of Operation Gibraltar in 1965 and reached a cynical peak in 1999 during the Kargil conflict.

 The refusal to accept the bodies of Northern Light Infantry soldiers who fell on the peaks of Kargil remains a stain on military history.

A state that abandons its own uniformed sons will feel no hesitation in disowning
the irregulars it sends to murder civilians.

Furthermore, that nation’s selective use of international law is a hollow performance. By refusing to vacate occupied territories for seven decades, it has remained in blatant violation of UNSC Resolution 47 of 1948 and has therefore lost all legal and moral authority to lecture others.

The Ballot as a Plebiscite on Peace

The democratic journey of the region is rooted in the 1954 Constituent Assembly, which formally ratified the Accession to India. This historic act functioned as the original and ultimate plebiscite where the people of Jammu and Kashmir chose their destiny within the Indian Union.

Today, the fruits of that choice are visible in the stability of daily life.

The 2024 elections functioned as a thunderous rejection of the culture of violence.

Record breaking turnouts, including a 64 percent average in the Assembly elections prove that the narrative of separatism has collapsed.

The participation of former separatists and Jamaat-e-Islami affiliates in the democratic process represents the ultimate victory of the Indian constitution.

Schools now operate on consistent academic calendars without the threat of shutdowns, markets thrive with hustle and bustle, cinemas have reopened after three decades to full houses, signalling a society that has moved on from a conflict driven economy.

While critics lecture India on demographic changes, they ignore the systemic demographic engineering occurring in their own occupied territories like Gilgit-Baltistan.

The Strength of the Constitutional State:

The contrast between two neighbouring nations is a study in institutional integrity. In India, even the most significant policies are subject to legal scrutiny.

The 2019 abrogation of Article 370 was upheld by a five judge bench in 2023, confirming it as a valid constitutional process. Across the border, the constitution is treated as a temporary document.

The 27th Amendment of 2025, which entrenched military supremacy and shielded chiefs from accountability, reveals a garrison state where the law is merely a suggestion.

 A nation that cannot investigate the disappearance of its own Baloch citizens is in no position to offer forensic help to a democracy. India investigates its crimes with the confidence of a sovereign power that relies on its own agencies instead of seeking assistance like a client state.

The Pahalgam chargesheet is not just a document of the past but a declaration that the
sovereign will of India is non-negotiable.
