Mumbai Police Move to Try Hafiz Saeed, 5 Others In Absentia for 26/11 Attacks

Mumbai Police have formally requested the initiation of in absentia trial proceedings against Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed and five others in connection with the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. The police sent an official letter to senior prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam seeking the proceedings under Section 356 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. This legal provision allows Indian courts to conduct trials against accused individuals who are not present or are beyond the country's jurisdiction. The move signals India's continued legal pursuit of those held responsible for the attacks that killed over 160 people across Mumbai.
