Process for 26/11 trial in absentia of Lashkar handlers Saeed, Lakhvi starts

India has launched a trial in absentia for six accused linked to the 26/11 terror attacks. This initiative, guided by the new Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, aims to expedite justice. A special court has declared Hafiz Saeed and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi as fugitives, utilizing evidence from Ajmal Kasab’s confession to connect them to the tragedy. Interpol is also stepping in to issue red corner notices for these suspects.
