An anti-terrorism court in Lahore on Wednesday indicted Hafiz Saeed, the chief of the proscribed Jamaatud Dawa, and four other JuD leaders who were booked in July for offences pertaining to terror financing.
Hafiz Saeed, along with others, was presented before the court under strict security protocol. During the proceedings, Saeed’s lawyer presented arguments against the indictment. After filing charges, the court summoned the prosecution’s witnesses. ATC-I judge Malik Arshad Bhutta, who heard the case, adjourned proceedings until today. On Saturday, the court had delayed the indictment owing to unavailability of one of the suspects in a case registered by the Counterterrorism Department on charges of terror financing.
