CNN’s Nic Robertson meets victims' families affected by Indian action at LoC

CNN’s International Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson visited the Line of Control (LoC), where he met with the families of two civilians allegedly killed in a fake encounter by the Indian Army.

The visit included a stop at the location where Muhammad Farooq and Muhammad Deen were martyred. Their families, speaking to CNN on camera, made emotional appeals for justice and revealed details of the alleged incident.

According to local sources, the CNN team was briefed on alleged human rights violations and broader concerns over the Indian military’s conduct along the LoC.

Defence experts speaking to the media stated that such fake encounters are becoming a growing international concern, drawing attention from rights groups and global media.

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar accompanied a delegation of both local and foreign journalists to key locations along the LoC.

According to officials, the visit was intended to counter what Pakistan describes as false and baseless propaganda by India regarding alleged terrorist hideouts.

Journalists were taken to specific sites India has previously labelled as militant camps. By observing the ground situation firsthand, hearing testimonies from local residents, and surveying the environment, the media delegation was given a chance to independently verify the facts.

Speaking during the visit, Minister Tarar said, “India has repeatedly made baseless accusations against Pakistan. Today, we have presented all the facts before both national and international media.”
