Intelligence agencies conducted a successful intelligence-based operation along the Pakistan-Iran border on October 10, 2026, resulting in the elimination of Bahadur, alias PMT, a notorious figure associated with Karachi’s Lyari gang war and a key alleged facilitator and financier of Fitna al-Hindustan (FAH), according to the information provided by security sources.
Bahadur was allegedly involved in providing logistical support, facilitating financial arrangements and coordinating the wider criminal, smuggling and terrorist networks operating in Karachi and their connections with militant elements in Balochistan. His reported elimination marks a significant development in efforts to disrupt the support structures that facilitate terrorist activities, including the movement of personnel, logistical assistance and coordination among criminal and militant networks.
According to the available information, Bahadur operated sleeper cells in rented accommodation in Saravan and Chabahar, Iran, from August to December 2025. These locations were reportedly used by individuals linked to militant networks active in Balochistan.
The information identifies Commander Mureed, alias Kurdi, a former member of the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), and Commander Liaqat, also described as a former BLF member, as individuals who were residing in these sleeper cells alongside Bahadur during the specified period.
Both commanders have been linked in the supplied account to militant activities in the Makran region. Their reported association with Bahadur points to the alleged connections between logistical facilitators, criminal networks and militant operatives across the wider regional security landscape.
The reported use of rented accommodation to host individuals associated with militant networks also highlights the importance of intelligence-led efforts to identify support infrastructure and disrupt the arrangements that may enable such networks to operate.
Bahadur was also reportedly involved in a range of terrorist and criminal activities in Balochistan, including the planning and execution of improvised explosive device (IED) attacks against security forces.
IED attacks pose a persistent threat to security personnel and other vulnerable targets, while the networks supporting such operations can extend beyond the individuals directly involved in carrying them out. The alleged role attributed to Bahadur in logistical coordination and operational planning underscores the significance of identifying and disrupting the broader support systems behind militant violence.
His reported involvement in both criminal activity and militant facilitation further illustrates the potential convergence of organised crime, smuggling and terrorism, in which established criminal networks can allegedly provide resources, logistical assistance and operational connections to armed groups.
