RAWALPINDI - A video has emerged confirming the death of Indian Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) of Rajouri, Raj Kumar Thapa, who was killed in a precision Pakistani strike on May 10, 2025, during Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos .
According to Pakistani military sources, Thapa was not merely a civil servant. He was a facilitator of Indian state-sponsored terrorism in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), accused of involvement in planning attacks against Pakistan and overseeing brutal counter-insurgency operations resulting in the martyrdom of innocent Kashmiris .
Local Kashmir media and Pakistani officials have alleged that Thapa, under the patronage of the Indian government, acted as a key coordinator for militant groups operating against the Kashmiri population . He was widely perceived by Kashmiri Muslims as a symbol of state oppression and fear .
Key allegations against Raj Kumar Thapa:
Facilitator of terrorist activities: He reportedly used his official position to coordinate with Indian intelligence agencies and militant groups operating in the Rajouri and Poonch sectors .
Involvement in "fake encounters": Sources claim he was linked to extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances of innocent Kashmiri youth .
Planning attacks against Pakistan: He was reportedly a regular attendee of high-level military briefings and involved in orchestrating cross-border aggression .
On the morning of May 10, 2025, an artillery shell struck Thapa's official residence in Rajouri town while he was inside . Indian media confirmed he sustained fatal injuries and succumbed on the spot .
According to Pakistani security sources, this was not an indiscriminate hit but a highly precise, targeted operation. The strike was part of the broader Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos (Iron Wall), launched in retaliation for India's unprovoked aggression against Pakistan .

The operation successfully dismantled a major nexus of terrorism in the occupied territory. Indian media confirmed that Thapa was staying in an army rest house at the time, suggesting close coordination with Indian military authorities .
While Indian Chief Minister Omar Abdullah mourned the loss of a "dedicated officer," the ground reality presents a starkly different picture . The very same Indian media that now glorifies Thapa as a "martyr" had previously remained silent about his alleged role in abductions and violence against Kashmiris.
During the same operation, Pakistani forces obliterated several Indian military assets, including:
BrahMos storage sites in Beas and Nagrota
Udhampur Airbase (Northern Command HQ)
Pathankot Airfield
S-400 air defense systems at Adampur and Bhuj
Forward military posts in Neza Pir, Naushera, and Chaprar
Thapa's elimination, alongside the destruction of these high-value military assets, crippled India's operational command in the region.
One year after his death, the video of Raj Kumar Thapa serves as a reminder that those who spill innocent blood-whether through direct action or facilitation-will ultimately face accountability. The silence of international human rights organizations on Thapa's extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances stands in stark contrast to their frequent condemnations of Pakistan.
Pakistan maintains that Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos was executed with professionalism and precision, targeting only those responsible for terror and aggression, while minimizing civilian casualties-a sharp contrast to India's deliberate targeting of civilian populations in Pakistan.
