New Delhi, May 7
In a dramatic development that could redefine the regional counter-terrorism landscape, unconfirmed intelligence reports claim that close family members of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar have been eliminated in a targeted cross-border strike, possibly linked to Operation Sindoor 2.0.
The alleged development has sent shockwaves through Pakistan’s military establishment, with high-level emergency meetings reportedly underway at GHQ in Rawalpindi.
“The Pakistani Army is rattled. The emotional and symbolic blow of losing key figures connected to Azhar has hit the system hard,” a senior Indian intelligence official told Bharat Global Time on background.
Inside the Strike: What We Know So Far
While there is no official confirmation from the Indian government or military, multiple sources close to national security agencies suggest that a precision intelligence-led air or drone strike took place over the weekend in the Bahawalpur region of Punjab, Pakistan—the known base of JeM operations.
Among the targets were reportedly two close blood relatives of Masood Azhar, believed to be involved in funding and overseeing terror recruitment networks.
“This was a clean, message-oriented strike. It wasn’t about numbers—it was about surgical symbolism,” an ex-RAW officer stated.
🇵🇰 Pakistan Reacts: Panic, Denial, and Silence
While mainstream Pakistani media remains largely silent, insiders claim that the military has gone into damage control mode, clamping down on public reporting and increasing patrols in sensitive regions of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Reports of senior army officials emotionally reacting to the loss, including visibly disturbed commanders, have emerged—though such claims remain unverifiable due to restricted media access in those areas.
The ISPR (Pakistan Army’s media wing) has not issued any official statement, further fueling speculation that a high-value target was indeed neutralized.
Global Implications
Defense analysts suggest this could mark a turning point in India’s counter-terror strategy, focusing not just on camps or infrastructure—but on the elimination of ideological and operational leadership figures.
“India is not just playing defense anymore. It’s dismantling the support system piece by piece,” said Dr. Meera Choudhury, a South Asia security expert.
A Word of Caution
