Security forces have killed a wanted militant commander carrying a Rs2.5 million government bounty during an intelligence-based operation in Killa Saifullah, Balochistan. According to security sources, the operation targeted Adil Shah, also known as Darvesh, who was associated with Fitna al-Khwarij.
The operation took place under Operation Ruddul Fitna 3, targeting militant activity in the region. Security sources identified Adil Shah as a key figure within the group, with alleged involvement in its financial affairs and activities across several areas.
Who Was Adil Shah, Also Known as Darvesh?
According to security sources, Adil Shah had been associated with Fitna al-Khwarij since December 2020. He reportedly began overseeing the group’s financial affairs in 2024.
Furthermore, sources alleged that he provided permanent shelter to militants from outside the region. These locations included Zhob, Sheerani, and Shaban in Balochistan.
His reported role in the group’s financial operations and accommodation arrangements made him a significant target during the intelligence-based operation. However, the details of his alleged activities come from security sources.
Alleged Involvement in Attacks and Criminal Cases
Security sources also linked Adil Shah to attacks against security forces, extortion, and kidnapping for ransom between 2022 and 2023.
According to the available information, authorities had registered 10 first information reports (FIRs) against him in anti-terrorism courts. The government had also announced a reward of Rs2.5 million for information leading to his capture or elimination.
These cases reflected the allegations against the wanted commander and the authorities’ efforts to pursue him. However, the reported accusations should remain distinct from any judicial findings.
