India has strongly rejected Pakistan’s accusations regarding its involvement in the Karachi incident in which four soldiers were killed. In response to media queries regarding allegations made by Pakistan, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Sunday, “We have seen Pakistani reports making baseless allegations against India regarding the recent incident in Karachi. We categorically reject them.”

“Instead of pointing fingers at others, Pakistan would do better to look inwards, take credible action against the terror infrastructure on its territory and rid itself of its proclivity to rely on terrorism as an instrument of state policy,” Jaiswal added.

Reports from Islamabad said Pakistani security forces killed six terrorists and captured another alive after foiling a brazen attack by militants on a Sindh Rangers compound in Karachi on Saturday night.

The attack left four paramilitary personnel dead and marked the city’s first major terrorist strike since October 2024. Certain elements in the Pakistani establishment alleged an Indian link to the attack. Among them, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi alleged an Indian link to the strike.

As per a PTI report quoting a security source, the attackers belonging to Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a splinter faction of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), stormed the Sindh Rangers’ Bhittai Wing headquarters in Karachi’s densely populated Gulistan-e-Jauhar area around 8.30 pm.
