Former National Investigation Agency (NIA) Director General Yogesh Chander Modi has said that Mumbai terror attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed remains protected by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and the Pakistani government. In an interview, YC Modi stated that Saeed, though supposedly in preventive custody, moves freely with his security managed by Pakistani rangers and Special Service Group commandos.
Modi also criticised the United States for not acting against Saeed despite knowing his status as an international terrorist. Hafiz Saeed, the co-founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba, is wanted in India for planning the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The former NIA chief's statement underscores India's longstanding frustration over Pakistan's failure to act against UN-designated terrorists. Despite a global bounty and Interpol Red Notice, Saeed has evaded capture for over a decade. New Delhi has repeatedly raised the issue at international forums, including the Financial Action Task Force, which keeps Pakistan on its grey list for terror financing. The next FATF review could determine whether Pakistan faces further sanctions.
