Overview

• Pakistan has quadrupled security around Hafiz Saeed, deploying army personnel, ISI officers, drones, and high-resolution CCTV cameras across a 4-kilometre radius in Lahore.
• Saeed's residence has been reclassified as a 'sub-jail,' allowing him to remain under technical custody while retaining operational mobility.
• Indian intelligence alleges Saeed's central role in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, claimed by The Resistance Front and resulting in 26 civilian deaths.
• Civilian access and unauthorized drone activity have been banned near Saeed's compound, with roads in the area heavily monitored.
• Despite global terrorist designations and a $10 million bounty, Saeed continues to live openly in Pakistan, intensifying India-Pakistan tensions over cross-border militancy.
