JuD chief not under arrest: Pak top cop

Islamabad, September 25
The chief of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) Hafiz Mohd Saeed, blamed by India for masterminding the Mumbai attacks, is not under arrest or protective custody, a top police official has said amid contradictory reports about his status in the run-up to Sunday's Indo-Pak Foreign Ministers' meeting.

Punjab police chief Tariq Saleem Dogar said Saeed is not under arrest or house arrest and he has also not been placed in protective custody. Saeed, also the founder of Lashkar-e-Toiba, has only been “advised” and “requested” to restrict his movements for the sake of his own safety and security, Dogar told a news conference in Rawalpindi on Thursday. — PTI
