Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Razaullah Nizamani alias Abu Saiullah, who was the brain behind the 2006 attack on the RSS headquarters, was killed by unidentified gunmen in Sindh province of Pakistan, officials here said.
Nizamani, who had been provided security by the Pakistani government, had left his residence at Matli in Sindh this afternoon and he was gunned down by assailants near a crossing, the officials said.
Besides masterminding the attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters at Nagpur, the Lashkar operative was involved in the Indian Institute of Science attack of 2005 in Bengaluru and the terror strike at a CRPF camp at Rampur in 2001.

Bilawal Bhutto seeks dialogue with India, intel sharing to combat terrorism
The Pakistani side has suffered great losses after it attempted to target Indian defence and civil installations in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. Bhutto, who served as the Foreign Minister earlier, addressed a briefing at the UN Headquarters in New York and sought reconciliation with India, making a plea for talks and Intel sharing between the two neighbours. New York: On a day that the Indian all-party delegation led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor arrived in Washington, DC as part of the global outreach on Operation Sindoor, Pakistan's delegation led by Bilawal Bhutto was in New York to try to push its case. As per an ongoing analysis of the damage inflicted upon by the Indian Air Force on Pakistan Air Force, it is emerging that 6 PAF fighter jets, two high-value aircraft, over 10 UCAVs, one C-130 transport aircraft, along with multiple cruise missiles, were destroyed by Indian air-launched cruise missiles and surface-to-air missiles. Now Bhutto wants to go back to diplomacy and dialogue, emphasising that it was the only viable path to peace. 'Pakistan would still like to cooperate with India to combat terrorism. We can't leave the fate of 1.5 billion, 1.7 billion people in the hands of non-state actors and terrorists,' he said. 'For them to decide, at a whim, that (when these) two nuclear-armed powers will go to war.' This statement, in effect, gives credence to India's stand that terror operatives based in Pakistan had planned the Pahalgam attack that saw the killing of 26 innocent people. India has also publicly stated that any further terrorist activity would warrant similar action. But Bhutto stressed the need for a dispute resolution mechanism. You can't have no dispute resolution mechanisms between two nuclear-armed countries,' he said. Ironically, Bhutto also suggested cooperation between Pakistan and India's intelligence agencies to take on terrorism in South Asia. 'I am completely confident that if ISI and RAW were ready to sit down and work together to fight these forces, we would see a significant decrease in terrorism in both India and Pakistan,' he said. Bhutto's placatory stance shows how deeply Pakistan has been affected by the strikes carried out during Operation Sindoor and Pakistan's need to seek peace in these circumstances.

E-Aadhaar authentication to be made mandatory for Tatkal tickets
The Ministry of Railways is planning major changes to the Tatkal ticketing process, aiming to make it more robust and prevent malpractices by making e-Aadhaar authentication mandatory for Tatkal bookings. Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw said Wednesday that Railways will soon introduce e-Aadhaar authentication for booking Tatkal tickets. 'Bharatiya Railways will soon start using e-Aadhaar authentication to book Tatkal tickets. This will help genuine users get confirmed tickets during need,' Vaishnaw said on X. A senior ministry official said that e-Aadhaar authentication will be the new step, while a provision to authenticate an IRCTC account with Aadhaar to book 24 tickets a month already exists. 'Account holders who link their accounts with Aadhaar will get priority booking during the first 10 minutes of Tatkal ticket sales. Even authorized IRCTC agents are not allowed to book within the first 10 minutes,' the official said. The official said the proposal for e-Aadhaar authentication is part of the campaign against the use of automated tools to book tickets online. The official said: '…the railways have deactivated and blocked over 24 million users in the past six months. Additionally, around 2 million accounts have been flagged as suspicious and are under probe.' Dheeraj Mishra is a Principal correspondent with The Indian Express, Business Bureau.

Exposed: Inside Pakistan's Brutal Crackdown In Balochistan – Killings, Kidnappings And Silence
Geneva/Balochistan/New Delhi: Blood on the sand. Balochistan bleeds again. Pakistan hunts its own. Killings. Kidnappings. Torture. Global watchdogs raise alarm. No action. No justice. Voices vanish. Bodies dumped. Families shattered. And ironically, the world stays silent. Balochistan screams in daylight. The Baloch human rights group, Paank, has condemned the recent alleged extrajudicial killings of Samiullah (son of Muhammad Hanif) and Bismillah (son of Ghulam Sarwar), whose bullet-ridden bodies were discovered on June 3 in the Ganda Gain neighbourhood of Kalat. The two young men, residents of Padang Abad, Mastung, were abducted by Pakistani security agencies on May 29, only to be found lifeless and tossed aside like trash. 'This is not law enforcement; it is a barbaric campaign of annihilation,' Paank posted on X. Paank unequivocally condemns the extrajudicial killing of Samiullah son of Muhammad Hanif and Bismillah son of Ghulam Sarwar, residents of Padang Abad, Mastung district, whose bodies were discovered on June 3, 2025, in the Ganda Gain area of Sheikhri, Kalat. Levies sources… — Paank (@paank_bnm) June 4, 2025 Levies sources confirmed to news agency ANI the brutality and said the victims were shot, discarded and later transported to RHC Mangochar. The purported massacre joins a list of alleged atrocities being documented month after month in Balochistan, including 'staged encounters, torture and targeted assassinations'. The figures speak volumes. Just in February, Paank recorded five 'extrajudicial' killings and 33 'enforced disappearances'. The body of Mehrab, tortured to death, was found in Kech on April 6. Another, Rehana, was allegedly gunned down in Awaran while trying to save her husband from abduction. Sher Khan Nazar was allegedly kidnapped on April 15. Zabid Ali was reportedly pulled from his home in Chaghi on May 11. These are not only numbers; they are lives erased and families destroyed.

Brahumdagh Bugti's sister & niece killed. Dr. Allah Nizar's wife & Prof. Aslam's sister abducted. Mahal, Dr. Mahrang Baloch, Gulzadi, Beebo Baloch, and now Majiben Baloch. When will this end?! #Balochistan… — Noora Baloch (@noorabaloch2) June 4, 2025 As international human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch call on Pakistan to end this brutality, Islamabad continues to hide behind impunity. Meanwhile, the alleged clampdown continues. The Balochistan Home Department has extended the detention of Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leader Shah Ji Sibghatullah by another 30 days under the notorious Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) ordinance. It is his third consecutive extension. Arrested in April, he was first allegedly held in an undisclosed location before being moved to Hudda Jail. The state's condition for release? Stay away from protests, sit-ins and political activism. He refused. 'The judiciary must not obey the orders of the military and intelligence agencies. Unfortunately, both judges have surrendered the principles of justice to the state's will,' said the BYC while slamming the Balochistan High Court for rejecting release petitions. The state's paranoia about dissent is now allegedly spilling over to women and students. On June 4, protesters flooded the streets of Basima in Washuk district, demanding the immediate release of Mahjabeen Baloch and her brother Younus, allegedly abducted by Pakistani security forces on May 29 and May 24 respectively. No warrant. No charges. No court. Just vanishing in plain sight. Mahjabeen, a student of library science at the University of Balochistan, was allegedly dragged out of her hostel in Quetta by intelligence operatives. Her brother was reportedly snatched from their home. Since then, the family has received no word. The Baloch Women Forum called the act an 'act of cowardice' and demanded her unconditional release. 'This is becoming intolerable and intense,' the forum said. Sabiha Baloch of BYC minced no words, 'The state is blatantly continuing genocide against the Baloch. Our youth are being disappeared in daylight and darkness. Now they've started targeting women and children.' The protesters in Basima warned of a province-wide uprising if the siblings are not freed within 24 hours. 'If anything happens to Mahjabeen or Younus, the state and its institutions will be held fully responsible,' they declared. This is what #Balochistan looks like: tanks roll in, homes are burned, drones hover, & families run for their lives.#Pakistan's military doesn't bring peace—it brings destruction. This is the reality #Baloch people face.#PakistanTerroristState #FreeBalochistan @UN_OCT @hrw — Shanaaz Baloch (@ShanaazBaloch) June 3, 2025 Pakistan's alleged dark underbelly of terror in Balochistan has been laid bare – a 'terrifying blend of military might, intelligence cover-ups, judicial silence and systematic erasure of dissent'. While Islamabad lectures the world on democracy and sovereignty, it continues to crush an entire people within its borders. (With ANI inputs)
