TRF Issues Encrypted Death Threat to Srinagar Scholar Junaid Qureshi

Sources attribute the encrypted message to LeT handlers in Rawalpindi under alleged ISI direction.

Overview

  • Qureshi says officials alerted him on 28 January about a very specific threat, and he reports no armed security has been provided.
  • The TRF-branded note claims awareness of private meetings with administration officials and warns it would not hesitate to eliminate named targets and associates.
  • Reports say the message was sent from an end-to-end encrypted account created on 24 August 2025 that regularly circulates TRF propaganda.
  • Unnamed sources link the account’s operation to LeT commander Sheikh Sajjad Gul in Rawalpindi, while Qureshi publicly alleges ISI orchestration.
  • Coverage places the threat in a longer pattern of intimidation and killings in Jammu and Kashmir, notes the U.S. listing of TRF in July 2025, and highlights the timing ahead of Pakistan’s 5 February “Kashmir Solidarity Day.”
