Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reportedly relocates two prominent leaders of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed amid heightened security concerns. Citing intelligence sources, NDTV reports that Hafiz Saeed is moved from Lahore’s Johar Town to the Garrison Ground area in Rawalpindi, near the Pakistan Army headquarters. It also reports that Masood Azhar is placed in an ISI-controlled safe house in Nawabshah in Pakistan’s Sindh province.
The accounts link the alleged moves to fears of potential action involving India, alongside concerns about attacks by “unknown gunmen.” Free Press Journal adds broader context, saying the relocation follows apprehensions after “Operation Sindoor,” which it describes as having disrupted terror infrastructure. It also reports restrictions on Saeed’s movements and differing claims about where he is serving time, with Pakistan stating he is in prison in Lahore while Indian intelligence reportedly disputes that.
Across outlets, the core shared details are the identities of the two men, the destinations within Pakistan, and the stated rationale centered on security risks and uncertainty around possible threats.
