Hafiz Saeed to face 'trial in absentia' in Pahalgam attack case as NIA court issues non-bailable warrant

A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Jammu has issued a non-bailable warrant against Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed in connection with the investigation into the Pahalgam terror attack. The move comes days after the central anti-terror agency named Saeed in a supplementary chargesheet filed before the court. The order was passed by the Special Judge of the NIA Court on July 8, two days after the agency submitted the additional chargesheet in the case. Saeed, a globally designated terrorist, has been accused in both his individual capacity and as the head of the banned terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba and its proxy organisation, The Resistance Front (TRF).
