[3] The group's name literally means freedom fighters of India (referring to the Indian subcontinent as a whole).
[4] While the group claimed to have split from the TTP because of opposition to peace talks with the government and after advice from a certain Paracha saab (a patwari of note),[7] some observers believed the group was used by the TTP to carry out deniable attacks without disrupting the cease fire talks.
[9] In response, the Taliban announced a ceasefire and accepted the condition of dealing with Ahrar-ul-Hind.
After this announcement, the group claimed an attack on the Islamabad High Court in March 2014.
[10] In August 2014, Omar Khalid Khorasani merged Ahrar-ul-Hind with other dissident TTP commanders into a new group called Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, formally splitting away from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan in September 2014.
