Mumbai attack case: Lakhvi’s detention orders suspended

ISLAMABAD: The notification detaining Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the key planner of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, under a public security order was today suspended by the Islamabad High Court.
The suspension orders were issued by Justice Noor ul Haq Qureshi, Geo News reported.
Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court Judge Zaidi on December 18 had granted bail to Lakhvi in the Mumbai attack case citing lack of evidence against him, but before he could be released from jail, the government detained him for three more months under Maintenance of Public Order (MPO).
Lakhvi challenged his detention under MPO in the Islamabad High Court after the government rejected his plea for release. (AGENCIES)
