Lakhvi sent to 14 days judicial custody

India Blooms News Service | | Jan 01, 2015, at 11:58 pm

Islamabad, Jan 1 (IBNS) 26/11 mastermind Zakir-ur-Rehman Lakhvi has been sent to 14 days judicial custody on Thursday after the Pakistani government moved to the Supreme Court protesting the detention suspension order issued by the Islamabad high court.

He will now be produced on Jan 15, reports said.

The Pakistan Government earlier on Thursday challenged in the Supreme Court the suspension of the detention order of Mumbai attacks mastermind Lakhvi.

The move by the country's Interior Ministry followed the Islamabad High Court's order granting conditional bail to the Lashkar-e-Taiba commander on the purported ground that there was no evidence to prove his involvement in the 2008 attacks in Mumbai in which 166 people were killed.

Reacting strongly to Lakhvi being allowed to walk free, India summoned Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basir on Monday to register its protest. The next day the 26/11 accused was detained for the second time and a fresh case was registered against him allegedly for kidnapping a man.

Lakhvi, who has been in a Rawalpindi jail from 2009 is one of the seven people being tried in Pakistan for the Mumbai attacks.

Indian intelligence agencies have submitted voice samples and other evidence of Lakhvi talking on satellite phones to the 10 terrorists who swooped on Mumbai to launch attacks in several landmark areas.
