NIA Court Issues Non-Bailable Warrant Against Pakistan-Based LeT CommanderPreviousNext

A special NIA court in Jammu has issued a non-bailable warrant against Mohammad Yaqoob, an operational commander of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), for his involvement in terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir. Yaqoob, designated a terrorist by the Union Home Ministry, coordinates financial and logistical support for LeT cadres. The warrant relates to an ongoing investigation following the arrest of a motorcyclist linked to a terror network. This is the second NBW issued by the court against a top LeT figure since July.
