ISLAMABAD: Barely hours after the Islamabad High Court
ordered his conditional release, another case has been registered
against Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi — the alleged mastermind of the Mumbai
attacks case — at the Golra Police Station in Islamabad.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), Lakhvi was said to be involved in the abduction of a man named Anwar.
Following the registration of the case last night, Lakhvi was arrested by police and taken into protective custody at the Shalimar police station as there was no suitable place to accommodate him at the Golra police station.
He was produced in a local court in Islamabad today amid tight security.
Earlier on Monday, the IHC had ordered the conditional release of Lakhvi.
The court suspended his detention orders, which were issued by the Islamabad district administration soon after an anti-terrorism court granted him bail on Dec 18.
The decision drew a sharp reaction from India and it summoned Pakistan’s High Commissioner to lodge protest. An Indian foreign ministry official said Delhi wanted “to register our protest over the court order”.
Seven Pakistani suspects have been charged with planning and financing the attacks but the failure to advance their trial has been a major obstacle to better ties between the two countries.
