Addressing a joint press conference on Sunday, the senior military officials of the Indian Army, Indian Air Force and the Indian Navy said the funeral of terrorists killed in Muridke was led by Abdul Rauf, a LeT commander who is a specially designated global terrorist by the US. Exposing the nexus between the Pakistani Army and terrorists, the officials also released a picture, which showed Lt Gen Fayyaz Hussain Shah, Major General Rao Imran Sartaj and Brigadier Mohd Furqan Shabbir attending the funeral, which was conducted with full state honours, with coffins of terrorists being draped in the Pakistani flag. The picture also showed a senior Pakistani police officer, Usman Anwar, and a politician, Malik Sohaib Ahmed, offering prayers.

Khalid, alias Abu Akasha, was a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist who operated in Jammu and Kashmir. He played a key role in smuggling weapons from Afghanistan to Pakistan while based in Peshawar. Khalid Mudassir Khadian Khas, who used names like Mudassar and Abu Jundal, was a Lashkar operative who was in charge of the Muridke terrorist camp. Ajmal Kasab, the only terrorist caught alive during the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks, had received his training at this camp. David Headley, another terrorist involved in the Mumbai attacks, also trained at Muridke. Mohammad Hassan Khan, a member of Jaish-e-Mohammad, was the son of Mufti Asghar Khan Kashmiri, the operational head of the terror group in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). He used to operate from the Syedna Bilal terrorist camp with Mufti Asghar and Ashiq Negroo, another JeM terrorist who was involved in the Pulwama attack in 2019. Yusuf Azhar, Abdul Malik Rauf and Mudasir Ahmed, who were involved in the hijacking of IC-814 in 1999 and the 2019 Pulwama blast, were also among those killed during Operation Sindoor early on May 7.
