A major development has emerged from Pakistan as Mohammad Tahir Anwar, the elder brother of terror group leader Masood Azhar, has reportedly died under mysterious circumstances. The incident has drawn attention from security agencies and intelligence sources due to his alleged involvement with the banned militant outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
Reports indicate that Tahir Anwar passed away in Pakistan’s Bahawalpur region, though the exact cause of death has not yet been officially disclosed. The sudden and unexplained nature of his death has sparked speculation across security and intelligence circles.
Who Was Mohammad Tahir Anwar?
Tahir Anwar was considered a key figure associated with the Pakistan-based militant organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed, which has been involved in multiple terrorist activities targeting India and other regions.
According to reports, Anwar played an active role in supporting the operations of the organisation. He was reportedly responsible for managing activities related to logistics, training camps, and operational support within the network.
Sources claim that Anwar had long been associated with the group’s leadership and was among the close family members who helped run the organisation’s internal structure.
Funeral Held in Bahawalpur
Following the news of his death, messages circulated on social media channels linked to the group confirming the passing of Tahir Anwar. Funeral prayers were reportedly held late at night in Bahawalpur at a mosque connected with the organisation’s headquarters.
