[[Pakistan Prime Minister]] [[Shehbaz Sharif]] commented in a tweet:<br />
<blockquote>Deeply grieved at passing of prominent Kashmiri leader Altaf Shah, son-in-law of Syed Ali Geelani, while in Indian captivity. Modi regime denied him treatment despite knowing he was cancer patient. Custodial killings are norm in Modi's India. My condolences to the bereaved family<ref>https://twitter.com/CMShehbaz/status/1579693287052804097 {{Bare URL inline|date=October 2022}}</ref></blockquote><br />
