LAHORE, Aug 25 Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against Jamaatud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, Times of India reported on Tuesday.
Hafiz Saeed has been charge-sheeted by India for masterminding the attacks in Mumbai on Nov 26 last year.
The notice, according to the newspaper, will make it difficult for Pakistan to let the JuD chief roam freely.
The paper said the CBI, which acts as an agency for all dealings with Interpol, has written to the world police body to get an RCN issued against Saeed, who was “let off by the Lahore High Court as Islamabad didn't press charges against him.”
Interpol issues an RCN against any accused after it receives all information and evidence against him from the country in which the crime has been committed.
An RCN, however, is not an international arrest warrant and Interpol cannot force Pakistan to arrest Saeed. India had earlier managed to get an RCN issued against Jaish-i-Mohammad chief Maulana Masood Azhar, but it could not force Pakistan to take any tangible action against him, the paper said.—Dawn Monitor
