The funeral of Habib Tahir, a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist killed in Operation Mahadev in Jammu & Kashmir, turned chaotic in PoK’s Kuiyaan village. Local residents resisted the presence of LeT commander Rizwan Hanif, who arrived with armed men despite being barred by Tahir’s family. Tensions escalated when Hanif’s nephew allegedly threatened mourners with a gun, sparking outrage. The group was eventually forced to leave. Tahir was involved in the Pahalgam attack that killed 26, including a Nepali national. Pakistan denies active LeT links, but the US recently designated its offshoot, The Resistance Front (TRF), a terrorist group. (PC: NDTV)
