Today, Pakistani court sent the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks to jail for two weeks in the latest round of a tussle over his detention that has worsened ties with India.
Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, accused over the terror attack in Mumbai, was granted bail on December 18 by an anti-terror court but authorities later detained him under a public order law which was suspended by Islamabad high court on Monday.
On Tuesday, police told a lower court that Lakhvi was accused in the kidnapping of a man six and half years ago, with the judge granting police his custody for two days to investigate.
In Mumbai attack 166 people were killed and were planned by banned Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). India has long folow-up at Pakistan’s failure either to hand over or prosecute those accused of planning and organising the violence.
