Islamabad: The Pakistan government on Saturday again issued detention orders for Zakiur-Rehman Lakhvi, the alleged mastermind of the Mumbai attack, a media report said.
The Islamabad High Court on Friday ordered his release after declaring his detention illegal, Khyber News reported.
The Islamabad deputy commissioner had also issued his release order.
India had strongly reacted to the court order and summoned Pakistan high commissioner to India to lodge a protest.
Similarly, the Pakistan foreign office also summoned the Indian high commissioner to lodge a protest over the delay in the Samjhauta Express case.
The Pakistani government had taken Lakhvi and six other suspects into custody in February 2009 over charges of “facilitating” the Mumbai terror attack and they had been in jail since then.
