Mumbai terror attack mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi on Wednesday challenged his two-day judicial remand in an abduction case.

Lakhvi’s counsel Rizwan Abbasi petitioned a district and sessions court, saying a false FIR had been registered due to pressure from India.

A court in Islamabad on Tuesday sent Lakhvi to two days judicial remand in the abduction case a day after the Islamabad High Court approved his release, Dawn reported.

The remand came in the wake of a second FIR lodged against him in Islamabad.

According to the FIR, Lakhvi was involved in the abduction of a man named Anwar.
