JAMMU, Dec 4: One of the main conspirators of the dastardly 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, Sajid Mir, who was lodged in the Central Jail of Dera Ghazi Khan in Pakistan has been poisoned.
A few months back Mir was shifted from Lahore Central Jail, reports said.
Mir was airlifted by the Pakistan army to CMH Institute of Medical Sciences, Bahawalpur.
Sajid Mir is a senior member of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and is wanted for his involvement in November 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai.
Believed to be in his mid-40s, Mir is one of India’s most wanted terrorists and has a bounty of $5 million placed on his head by the US for his role in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
In June, 2022, Mir was jailed for over 15 years in a terror-financing case by an anti-terrorism court in Pakistan.
Pakistani authorities had in the past claimed Mir had died, but Western countries remained unconvinced and demanded proof of his death.
