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.
The agency alleges that he helps armed groups in Kashmir with money, weapons and instructions.
The case started after Mohammad Naqeeb Bhat was arrested near Srinagar.
Investigators said they found a grenade and 15 bullets with him.
They 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 against him from this court in two months.
The Special NIA Court in Jammu issued a fresh non-bailable warrant against Hafiz Mohammad Saeed on September 8.
The National Investigation Agency alleges that Saeed is in Pakistan and supplies money, weapons and directions to terrorist groups in Kashmir.
The case began after Mohammad Naqeeb Bhat was arrested near Srinagar with a China-made grenade and 15 live rounds, according to investigators.
The investigation led to arrests linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, The Resistance Front and two Pakistani nationals.
