He was arrested on Wednesday on his way to court in the central city of Gujranwala by a group of counterterrorism department police at the Kamoke toll plaza. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is charged with terrorism financing. Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), the humanitarian wing of Lashkar Taiba said it would challenge Saeed’s arrest in court and apply for his bail. India accused Hafiz Muhammad Saeed of masterminding the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed more than 160 people. Pakistan has been facing pressure since 2017 to crack down on armed groups operating on its soil when it was placed on a watchlist by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
