TL;DR

India's defence minister appeared to confirm the government's involvement in extrajudicial killings in Pakistan, targeting terrorists and militants associated with Islamist groups. The alleged shift in policy came after the Pulwama attack in 2019, with Indian intelligence operatives drawing inspiration from agencies like Mossad and incidents such as Jamal Khashoggi's killing.
