A Pakistani court has sent the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks to jail for a further two weeks.
Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the chief of the banned Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), was granted bail on December 18 by an antiterrorism court.
But authorities later detained him under a public order law, which was suspended by the Islamabad High Court on December 29.
Police told a lower court on December 30 that Lakhvi was accused in the kidnapping of a man six years ago, with the judge granting police his custody for two days to investigate.
The same court on January 1 sent him for a further two weeks to Rawalpindi's Adiala jail, according to his defense lawyer, Rizwan Abbasi.
