Lahore/IBNS: A Pakistan court on Wednesday indicted Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed and four others who were booked in July for offences pertaining to terror financing.

Saed and others were present in the court during the court proceedings on Wednesday.

Saeed's lawyer presented the argument against the indictment in the court.

After filing charges, the court summoned the prosecution's witnesses. ATC-I judge Malik Arshad Bhutta, who heard the case, adjourned proceedings until tomorrow, reported Dawn News.

On July 17, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of the Punjab Police registered 23 FIRs against Saeed and his accomplices on the charges of "terror financing" in different cities of Punjab province and arrested the Saeed.

On Saturday, the court had delayed the indictment owing to unavailability of one of the suspects in a case registered by the CTD on charges of terror financing.

Hafiz is also the mastermind behind the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack in India in 2008.
