A powerful car bomb went off outside the house of Hafiz Saeed on June 23. Saeed is the Mumbai terror attack mastermind and banned Jamat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief. At least three people have been killed and over 20 injured in the blast, reported PTI. The bomb blast took place at a police picket outside Hafiz Saeed’s residence at the BOR Society in Jauhar Town.

Inspector-General of Police (Punjab) Inam Ghani said there could have been a major loss had there been no police picket outside the house of the high-profile person, referring to the Mumbai terror attack mastermind.

The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) has taken over the blast site and investigating from all aspects, he said. The injured people have been shifted to the Jinnah Hospital. Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid directed the Punjab chief secretary and IG to submit a report.

Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar instructed that those responsible for the explosion be brought to justice. The blast sparked rumours that Hafiz Saeed was present in the house. The 71-year-old radical cleric has been serving a jail sentence at the Kot Lakhpat Jail Lahore for his conviction in terror financing cases. Watch the video to know more.
