Pakistan forced to delay Lakhvi's bail appeal: Lawyer

Islamabad, Dec 22 (IBNS): A Pakistani government prosecutor on Monday said that he has been forced to delay an appeal against a court order which grants bail to top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Zaki ur Rehman Lakhvi, an accused in the 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai in 2008.
Lakhvi was given bail by a court in Islamabad earlier which said the prosecution could not proved enough against him.
 
Lakhvi was in Aadiyala jail in Rawalpindi since his arrest in 2009.
 
The bail had triggered a furious response from India, who rejected freeing Lakhvi.
 
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had also called the move unfortunate and hoped that the Pakistan government appeals against it in higher court so that Lakhvi's bail is cancelled.
 
“It is unfortunate that the person involved in 26/11 attacks has got bail. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had earlier announced a crackdown on terror,” Singh had said.
 
“I hope the Pakistan government will appeal in a higher court so that Lakhvi's bail is cancelled," he had added.
 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had in May met his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif  and expressed India's concern over the slow progress of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack trial in that country.
 
A series of twelve coordinated shooting and bombing attacks in Nov 2008 across Mumbai in hotels, religious place, railway station carried out by Pakistani members of Lashkar-e-Taiba.had killed 164 people and wounded at least 308.
