The Indian government's spy agency, RAW, is accused of being involved in assassinations abroad, including in Pakistan. The allegations were made by Pakistani authorities and a report by The Guardian, which claimed that India had ordered killings on Pakistani soil. The report stated that New Delhi targeted individuals it considers hostile to India on foreign soil. This alleged policy began after the 2019 Pulwama attack, and has been linked to strained relations between Pakistan and India, particularly over the disputed region of IIOJK. The Indian government's foreign ministry declined to comment on the allegations, while Pakistani authorities have cited "credible evidence" of Indian agents' involvement in killings on its soil.
