Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Monday hinted at the possibility of Indian involvement in the assassination of Amir Sarfaraz, also known as Tamba. He stated, 'One cannot deny the likelihood of India's involvement in Tamba's murder.' He claimed, 'India was directly involved in some killings here before.'
The Pakistani minister said, 'The police are investigating the case (Tamba's), and it would be premature to speak about India's involvement at this stage.' However, he did express suspicion about India’s involvement in the Tamba murder, citing a pattern similar to previous killings.
