Jammu Court Issues Second Warrant Against Hafiz Saeed
A court in Jammu has issued an arrest warrant for Hafiz Mohammad Saeed.
The National Investigation Agency says he is in Pakistan and is helping armed groups in Kashmir.
The agency alleges that he provides them with money, weapons and instructions.
The case began after Mohammad Naqeeb Bhat was arrested during a security check near Srinagar.
Authorities said they found a China-made grenade and 15 bullets.
Investigators then said they uncovered a larger network linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and The Resistance Front.
The court said Saeed was avoiding arrest and issued the warrant on September 8.
It was the second warrant issued against him by this court in two months.
The reports differ on the number of people killed in the related Pahalgam attack.
