Lashkar commander Abu Saifullah, involved in several terror attacks in India, killed in Pakistan's Sindh province

Abu Saifullah Khalid, a top commander of the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has reportedly been killed by unidentified attackers in Pakistan's Sindh province, according to security sources. Saifullah, also known by multiple aliases, including Vinod Kumar, Mohammad Salim, Khalid, Waniyal, Wajid, and Salim Bhai, was a key figure in the LeT's operations, handling recruitment, fundraising, and cross-border infiltration.

According to officials, Khalid was gunned down while traveling through the Badin district of Sindh, where he had been leading recruitment and fundraising efforts for LeT and its parent organization, Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD). Local media reports from Sindh indicated that he was declared dead at a hospital following the attack,



with some sources suggesting personal enmity as a possible motive, though this remains unverified.

Saifullah, a close associate of top LeT commander Abu Anas, was instrumental in orchestrating several high-profile terror strikes in India. He masterminded the 2006 attack on the RSS headquarters in Nagpur, where three terrorists were shot dead by security forces before they could inflict mass casualties. He also planned the 2005 attack on the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru, which left IIT professor Munish Chandra Puri dead and four others injured. In 2008, He coordinated an attack on a CRPF camp in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, in which seven personnel and a civilian were killed, with the attackers escaping under the cover of darkness.
