India on Sunday rejects Pakistan’s claims that New Delhi is linked to a militant attack on a Sindh Rangers compound in Karachi, calling the allegations “baseless” and urging Islamabad to focus on counterterror action within its own borders. India’s Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal says the accusations are unfounded and adds that Pakistan should not rely on terrorism as a policy instrument, but instead address security challenges originating from within the country.
The attack occurred on Saturday night in Karachi’s Gulistan-e-Jauhar area, where heavily armed militants stormed the Sindh Rangers Bhittai Wing headquarters. Pakistani authorities describe attackers ramming a vehicle through the main gate, throwing grenades, and triggering explosions followed by a gunfight. Reports cited by both sources say Pakistan security personnel assisted by special units carried out an operation lasting about 90 minutes.
According to those reports, six militants are killed and one is captured alive, while four Rangers personnel die. The assault is claimed by Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a faction associated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), prompting renewed concerns about internal security and investigations, along with tightened security in the area.
