Who are the Pak officials who attended funerals of terrorists killed in 'Operation Sindoor'

The Indian armed forces had launched precision missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including the strongholds of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Muridke.

The military strikes were carried out under 'Operation Sindoor' two weeks after 26 civilians were killed in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.

On Sunday, India released the names of top officials from Pakistan who attended the funerals of the terrorists killed during the operation.

Hafiz Abdul Rauf is said to have been leading the funeral of the terrorists. In trying to portray a globally-sanctioned terrorist as a "common man", Pakistan was exposed when the country's top official publically outed crucial details about Hafiz Abdul Rauf, including his national identity number which matched details in the database of the US sanction list of terrorists.

Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt General Rajiv Ghai with Air Marshal A K Bharti, Vice Admiral AN Pramod and Major General S S Sharda addressed a press conference on 'Operation Sindoor', in New Delhi and noted that Pakistan Army top brass and Inspector-General of Police Punjab, Pakistan were seen at the funeral, offering prayers.
