According to Muhammad Syrus, Indian agents used technology and refuge places in other countries to kill people in Pakistan. They hired and paid criminals to murder innocent Pakistani civilians on the territory of Pakistan.

Moreover, he stated that there was a complex worldwide plot involving many countries for these killings. India recruited the killers on the social media app Telegram.

The terrorists killed Shahid Latif outside a mosque in Sialkot. A thorough investigation by a Pakistan Intelligence agency exposed a secret agent Yogesh Kumar of India organized this assassination. Yogesh hired a third-country laborer, Muhammad Umair, to plan the assassination plot of Shahid Latif on Oct 11, 2023.

However, Law enforcement agencies in Pakistan quickly took target killers and Muhammad Umair who were trying to flee the country on Oct 12, 2023.

Regarding the second assassination, the foreign secretary stated that another Indian spy was involved in the shooting of Pakistani national Muhammad Riaz. Terrorists shot him during Fajr prayers inside a mosque in Rawalkot on Sep 8, 2023. Indian agents sponsored Muhammad Abdullah Ali assassinated Riaz.

Pakistan Intelligence Services also caught Abdullah Ali on Sep 15, 2023, at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi. Hence, he confessed that Indian agents Ashok Kumar Anand and Yogesh Kumar recruited him to kill Riaz.

In the end, Syrus also emphasized bringing the killers, facilitators, and financiers to justice. He stated India must be held accountable worldwide for blatant violations of International law. The Indian assassination on Pakistani soil is also a violation of its sovereignty and UN charter.

Moreover, he stated that Pakistan remains committed to protecting its people and securing its sovereignty. In any case, the government prioritizes the security of Pakistan and any foreign individual on Pakistani soil.
