Masood Azhar's Brother Mohammad Tahir Anwar Dies in Pakistan, Cause Remains Unclear
Mohammad Tahir Anwar, the elder brother of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar, has died in Pakistan under circumstances that are still unclear. His death has drawn attention due to his close links with the banned terror organisation.

Mohammad Tahir Anwar, the elder brother of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar, has died in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. The cause of his death remains unclear, and he was reportedly an active figure within the banned terror organization.
Officials have not yet confirmed the exact cause of his death, adding to the mystery surrounding the incident.
Death Reported by JeM-Linked Sources
According to reports shared by channels associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed, Anwar passed away in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. His funeral was scheduled to be held at a local mosque in the city.
However, no official details have been provided about how or why he died. The lack of clarity has raised questions, especially given his association with the terror outfit.
Role Within Jaish-e-Mohammed
Mohammad Tahir Anwar was reportedly one of the five brothers of Masood Azhar. He is believed to have played an active role in the functioning of Jaish-e-Mohammed.
Though not as publicly known as his brother, Anwar was considered an important figure within the group's internal network and operations.
Background: A Family Linked to Terror Activities
Masood Azhar, the founder of Jaish-e-Mohammed, is a designated global terrorist. He has been linked to several major terror attacks in India over the years.
These include:
- The 2001 Indian Parliament attack
- The 2008 Mumbai attacks
- The 2016 Pathankot airbase attack
- The 2019 Pulwama attack
Azhar was arrested in India in 1994 but was later released in 1999 following the hijacking of an Indian Airlines flight.
Previous Losses Claimed by Azhar
Last year, Masood Azhar claimed that several members of his family were killed during Indian airstrikes targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan.
According to his statement, multiple relatives, including close family members and aides, died in the strike on a JeM-linked facility in Bahawalpur.
He described the deaths as a form of "sacrifice" and said he felt no regret, making controversial remarks that drew criticism.
The absence of official information about Mohammad Tahir Anwar's death has led to speculation. Authorities in Pakistan have not released any detailed statement so far.
Given his background and links to a banned organisation, the incident is likely to be closely watched by security agencies and analysts.
The death of a key family member of Masood Azhar comes at a time when regional tensions remain high. While it may not immediately impact security dynamics, it adds another layer to the complex situation involving terror groups in the region.
For now, the cause of Anwar's death remains unknown, and further details are awaited.
