Chairman Imtiaz Rashid Qureshi of Pakistan's Bhagat Singh Memorial Foundation was abducted by armed men in Lahore and says an Indian operative threatened his life, leaving him seriously injured.
Lahore police reported that late last night three to four unidentified gunmen forced their way into the residence of Imtiaz Rashid Qureshi, the chairman of the Bhagat Singh Memorial Foundation, and abducted him. Qureshi, who leads the Pakistani organization dedicated to the legacy of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, alleged that the perpetrators were linked to an Indian operative who threatened to kill him. He sustained serious injuries during the incident and was later taken to a local hospital for treatment. The incident has heightened diplomatic sensitivities between India and Pakistan, with authorities in both countries monitoring the situation closely. No official statement has yet been released by Indian officials regarding the alleged involvement.
