According to reports, the Indian government has formally asked Pakistan for the extradition of Hafiz Saeed, the leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the architect of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.According to reliable sources, the Pakistani government received a formal request from the Ministry of External Affairs asking them to start the legal procedure for Saeed’s extradition.Due to his suspected role in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, Saeed is considered one of India’s most wanted terrorists and is the subject of a $10 million reward from the United States.Although Pakistan and India do not have an extradition treaty, India has consistently requested Saeed’s extradition to stand justice for the Mumbai attacks.Saeed has had several legal troubles over the years, despite his denials of guilt and leadership roles within LeT. A few months before Pakistan was put under examination by the Financial Action Task Force, he was first caught in July 2019 and sentenced to 11 years in prison.According to records from April of last year, Saeed was given a 31-year jail sentence by a Pakistani court for his involvement in financing terrorists. He may or may not be incarcerated, though, since some accounts state that he was freed from house arrest in 2017 and is still at large. After being detained, Saeed was released.Talha Saeed, the son of Hafiz Saeed, was designated as a terrorist by India last year by the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). Talha Saeed is now getting ready to run for office in the next Pakistani general elections in the name of his father’s political organization, the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML).
