Mumbai attacks alleged mastermind Hafiz Saeed’s brother-in-law and banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa deputy chief Hafiz Abdul Rahman Makki, who died of a heart attack on Friday.
According to the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), Prof. Abdul Rahman Makki had been ill for the past few days and was undergoing treatment following high diabetes at a private hospital in Lahore.
“Makki suffered a cardiac arrest early this morning and he breathed his last in the hospital,” a JuD official told PTI.
Makki, the brother-in-law of JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, was handed down six months imprisonment in terror financing in 2020 by an anti-terrorism court.
Makki, deputy chief of JuD, had been keeping a low profile after being sentenced in terror financing.
The Pakistan Mutahida Muslim League (PMML), in a statement, said that Makki was an advocate of Pakistani ideology.
In 2023, Makki was designated as a global terrorist by the United Nations, subjecting him to an asset freeze, travel ban, and arms embargo.
