In the wake of escalating concerns over cross-border terrorism, India is set to approach the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) with proposals targeting three specific terrorists believed to be operating from Pakistan. These individuals are allegedly responsible for orchestrating and executing multiple attacks within India, posing a significant threat to national security.

According to sources, the three terrorists in question are Mohiuddin Aurangzeb Alamgir and Ali Kashif Jan, both associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Yusuf Muzammil Bhat, a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). These groups have been implicated in several high-profile terrorist incidents, including the 2019 Pulwama attack, the 2016 Pathankot attack, the 2008 Mumbai attacks, the 2002 Akshardham attack, the 2005 Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore attack and the 2006 Mumbai train blasts.

Indian agencies, particularly the National Investigation Agency (NIA), have reportedly gathered substantial digital evidence linking these individuals to the aforementioned attacks. This evidence is expected to form a crucial part of India's submission to the UNSC. All three have already been designated as terrorists under India's Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) between 2020 and 2022.

Mohiuddin Aurangzeb Alamgir, said to be a senior leader of JeM, is allegedly involved in the 2019 Pulwama attack. He is also accused of managing JeM's fund collection activities from Pakistani nationals and routing these funds to Kashmir. Additionally, Alamgir is believed to facilitate the infiltration of Afghan cadres and coordinate terrorist attacks on Indian security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.

Ali Kashif Jan is identified as the operational commander and a key member of JeM's planning committee. He is believed to have been the handler during the Pathankot Air Force Station attack. Jan is said to operate from JeM launching detachments in Pakistan, where he recruits and trains cadres and plans attacks on Indian targets.

Yusuf Muzammil Bhat's specific role and activities have not been detailed in recent reports, but his association with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) places him within a network responsible for numerous acts of terror in India.

India's move to approach the UNSC follows increased scrutiny of Pakistan's role in fostering terrorism. In May 2025, India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, criticized Pakistan at the UNSC, stating that it "has repeatedly used civilian cover to advance the cause of terrorism". He also pointed out that Pakistani officials paid respects at the funeral of terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor.

However, India's efforts to impose sanctions on Pakistan-based terrorists have faced obstacles. China has repeatedly blocked proposals to designate various individuals as global terrorists, including those associated with LeT and JeM. This includes blocking sanctions against Abdul Rauf Asghar, Sajid Mir, Abdur Rehman Makki, Talha Saeed, and Shahid Mehmood Rehmatullah. China has also blocked proposals to sanction The Resistance Front (TRF), an LeT offshoot involved in the 2025 Pahalgam attack.

Despite these challenges, India remains committed to combating terrorism and holding those responsible accountable. By presenting evidence and seeking UNSC action against these three terrorists, India aims to intensify international pressure on Pakistan to take concrete steps against terrorism emanating from its soil. It also underscores India's resolve to protect its citizens and maintain regional stability in the face of persistent terrorist threats.

India has also been actively engaging with other nations and international bodies to address the issue of terrorism. An Indian delegation recently met with officials from the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) and the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate to discuss strategies and enhance cooperation in countering terrorism.
