NEW DELHI:

Saifullah Khalid was reportedly shot at in Matli, in district Badin (Sindh) when he stepped out of his house, said an officer, while adding that Pakistan army and the ISI had warned all LeT leaders and senior members of the organisation not to move about in open after the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor.

An officer, who didn't want to be named, said "Saifullah Khalid is close to LeT chief Hafiz Saeed and had planned the attack on RSS headquarters on June 1, 2006.

We have information that he has been shot dead by unidentified men in Pakistan's Sindh."
