The MEA spokesperson said on X that “Ajit John Joshua is RPO Bengaluru. The following tweets are fake”. The Pakistani anchor-journalist Sadia Khalid from Lahore posted the photo of Ajit Joshua on her X handle and cited intelligence sources as saying that “Indian #RAW agent Ajit John Joshua has been proven to be behind the Jaffer Express tragedy!”
She went on to claim that Ajit Joshua “known as an ambassador, is currently planning terrorism in Balochistan from a country near #Pakistan”.
She claimed that “Ajit Jan Joshua joined the Indian Foreign Service in 2014, served as an “ambassador” in important cities like Beijing and Hong Kong” and that his work “has been to build networks against Pakistan”.
Khalid claimed that the RPO has been “funding, training and instructing #Baloch separatist groups so that attacks can be carried out inside Pakistan”.
