Summary Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi submitted appeal against his 2-day remand in additional session judge's court.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the main suspect in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, has submitted a plea against his physical remand in Islamabad additional session judge Rida Chaudhry’s court today (Wednesday).
Lakhvi’s lawyer Rizwan Abbasi has stated in the petition that a fabricated first information report (F.I.R) has been filed against his client, thus, his two-day detention order should be suspended.
Meanwhile, police have sought time from the court to submit reply over the plea.
After a judge on Dec. 18 granted bail to Lahkvi in the Mumbai attacks case there had been concerns that he would be freed, possibly as early as Tuesday. But on Tuesday morning, police arrested him on another case.
Someone had filed a complaint at a police station on the Islamabad outskirts saying that Lakhvi had abducted his brother-in-law six and a half years ago. The judge granted a police request for time to investigate the accusation, extending Lakhvi s detention for two days.
