Big news has emerged regarding India's most wanted terrorist, Masood Azhar. Recent intelligence has pinpointed his location and where he is hiding.
According to an exclusive report by Aaj Tak, Masood Azhar has been spotted far from his stronghold in Bahawalpur, in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Reports indicate sightings in Gilgit-Baltistan.
Recently, he was seen in Skardu, particularly in the Sadpara Road area, which hosts two mosques and several private and government guesthouses.

Bahawalpur, Pakistan, is considered Masood Azhar's fortress, with two major hideouts. During Operation Sindoor, India strategically targeted Jaish-e-Mohammad's headquarters and madrasa in Bahawalpur.

Azhar is not the only terrorist finding refuge in Pakistan. Syed Salahuddin, chief of Hizbul Mujahideen, also operates from Islamabad.
Pakistan's former Foreign Minister and chairman of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, recently claimed that Masood Azhar might be in Afghanistan.
Bilawal stated that if Masood Azhar is found on Pakistani soil, he would be handed over to India. In an Al Jazeera interview, Bilawal mentioned that whenever the Indian government shares information showing Masood Azhar's presence on Pakistani soil, he will be arrested and happily handed over to India.
It should be noted that Ajhar masterminded several terrorist attacks in India, including the Pathankot Air Base attack in 2016 and the Pulwama attack in 2019. Masood Azhar is sanctioned by India, the USA, and the United Nations. He is also accused of the 2001 Parliament attack.
Indian intelligence agencies are closely monitoring Masood Azhar's movements. Using Jaish-e-Mohammad's online platforms, intentional fake news is being disseminated, with old audio clips of Masood being circulated to falsely show he has resided in Bahawalpur for a long time.
