Big blow to Jaish-e-Mohammed: Masood Azhar’s close aide Salman Azhar killed in accident

New Delhi: Mysterious incidents have once again created a stir in Pakistan. The atmosphere of panic within terrorist organizations is deepening, because continuous suspicious deaths have raised serious questions on the security system. Meanwhile, a big news related to Jaish-e-Mohammed has come out, which has shocked both the intelligence agencies and the terrorist network.

In the latest case, Maulana Salman Azhar, a close aide of Jaish-e-Mohammed leader Masood Azhar and the top commander of the organization, has been killed under mysterious circumstances. Even though his death is being described as a road accident, there are many speculations about it and it is also being seen as a planned murder.

Suspicious road accident in Bahawalpur

This incident took place in Bahawalpur of Punjab province of Pakistan, which is considered the stronghold of Jaish-e-Mohammed. It is reported that Maulana Salman Azhar was present on the road when a speeding unknown vehicle hit him. The collision was so severe that he died on the spot. After committing the incident, the driver absconded and the vehicle could not be identified.

Accident or conspiracy?

Although local agencies are trying to call it a normal road accident, this incident has raised many questions. At the national and international level, it is being seen as a well-planned conspiracy or target killing. Especially because such cases have been increasing continuously in Pakistan for some time.

Who was Maulana Salman Azhar?

Maulana Salman Azhar was one of the most important and influential faces of Jaish-e-Mohammed.

• Close to Masood Azhar: He was considered a very trusted aide of the organization’s chief Masood Azhar and played an important role in many major decisions.
• Operation of terrorist network: His work was to plan terrorist conspiracies against India, recruit terrorists, provide training and raise funding.
• Strategic Role: Being a part of the core group of the organization, his death is being considered a big blow for Jaish.

Growing fear of ‘target killing’ in Pakistan

Salman Azhar’s death is not being considered an isolated incident, rather it is part of a series in which many wanted terrorists hiding inside Pakistan have been targeted.

• Threat of unknown attackers: In the last one and a half years, many commanders of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hizbul Mujahideen and Jaish have been killed under suspicious circumstances.
• Pattern of accidents and attacks: At some places unknown gunmen shoot, at other places deaths occur in suspicious road accidents.
• Questions on security: In a high-security area like Bahawalpur, such an incident has raised serious questions on the functioning of security agencies.

Stir in terrorist organizations

After this incident, restlessness has increased among Pakistan’s intelligence agency and terrorist organizations. The killing of Masood Azhar’s close aide in this manner has given a clear indication that even big terrorists are no longer safe.

Salman Azhar’s death is being considered not only a strategic but also a psychological blow for Jaish-e-Mohammed, which may affect the internal structure of the organization.
