Why Pakistan-based Hafiz Saeed is wanted in India? | Explained

The Story So Far: Pakistan-based terrorist Hafiz Saeed (76), who heads the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), was named in the second chargesheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on July 6 in the Pahalgam terror attack, which left 26 civilians, including 25 tourists , dead in April last year. A group of gunmen believed to be of the LeT and its offshoot The Resistance Front (TRF) targeted tourists at Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadow, which has no motorable access and tourists use ponies to reach this high-altitude meadow. In the NIA chargesheet, Saeed is charged not only in an individual capacity but also as the chief of the banned LeT terror outfit and its active proxy organisation TRF.
