After the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the ISI and the Pakistan government have lost their nights of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed. The sources are claiming that he is worried about his safety. This is the reason that the Government of Pakistan has increased its security. It is reported that the former commandos of the Special Service Group (SSG) have been included in its security team and additional personnel have been deployed at its residence in Mohalla Johar in Lahore.

The mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai attack is deliberately placed in a densely populated area, where the mosque, madrasa and nearby common citizens are houses. Although he is officially kept in jail, his residence has been converted into temporary sub-jail. According to the Times of India report, a control room has been set up to monitor the activities within a kilometer radius with CCTV cameras, which have cameras equipped with gesture detection technology. 77-year-old Saeed is considered desired by both India and the US due to the alleged role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks as well as being involved in the recent killings in Pahalgam.
On Wednesday, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang threatened to avenge the death of citizens in Pahalgam. In a post on social media with a picture of Saeed, the group vowed to target “a very valuable person for Pakistan”. While Saeed is officially serving a 46 -year sentence in seven terrorist financing cases, his custody is widely seen as nominal. In the order of April 7, 2022, he was sentenced to 31 years in two cases of terrorist financing. It was in addition to the 15 -year sentence given in 2020, in which the court ordered all the sentences to be run simultaneously.

Despite his alleged custody since 2019, Saeed has made more than two dozen public attendance in the last three years, the most recent of which took place in February this year. Protected by multi -level security circle, including former SSG commandos, he has often been seen in the camps of terrorist launch pads and Muridke, Bahawalpur and Rawalkot in Pakistan -occupied Kashmir. After India canceled Article 370, Saeed again branded Lashkar-e-Taiba as The Resistance Front in 2020.
