Latest News about Hafiz Saeed
A former Lashkar-e-Taiba operative, Noor Dahri, publicly accused Hafiz Saeed of causing the deaths of thousands of Pakistani citizens by sending them into conflicts for Pakistan's political objectives. Dahri described LeT as a 'death cult' and recounted being called a coward by commanders when he decided to leave the group. The revelation highlights internal dissent against Saeed's leadership.
India Today revealed the location of Hafiz Saeed's secure hideout in an upscale Lahore neighbourhood through satellite images and videos. The compound includes his residence, a mosque, a madrasa, and a private park, all under heavy protection by Pakistani security forces. This contradicts Pakistan's claims of his incarceration, showing him living comfortably despite terrorism charges and his alleged role in the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people on 22 April 2025.
