Pahalgam Attack Case: NIA Court Issues Non-Bailable Warrant Against Lashkar-E-Taiba Chief Hafiz Saeed
The agency said arrest and custodial interrogation are needed for a fair, complete and effective investigation into the attack that killed 26 people.
- On July 8, a special NIA Court issued an open-dated, non-bailable warrant against 76-year-old Hafiz Saeed for his alleged involvement in the Pahalgam terror attack, seeking his arrest to enable further investigation.
- The National Investigation Agency filed a supplementary chargesheet naming the Lashkar-e-Taiba chief and The Resistance Front as key actors in the assault, asserting that Saeed is deliberately evading arrest.
- Designated a global terrorist by India and the United States, Saeed is widely regarded as a mastermind behind the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks that claimed 166 lives, strengthening the NIA's case against Pakistan-based networks.
- Following the warrant, the legal process to conduct a "trial in absentia" against Saeed has moved a step closer, as the NIA informed the court that bringing him from Pakistan to India is currently impossible.
- The agency intends to send the warrant to Pakistan through the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs, bolstering Saeed's active Interpol Red Corner Notice in India's diplomatic pressure strategy.
