Islamabad: A Pakistani anti-terror court has formally indicted Lashkar-e-Toiba's operations chief Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and six other suspects arrested in connection with the Mumbai attacks and adjourned the case for a week.
Judge Baqir Ali Rana, conducting the trial behind closed doors at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, formally charged the suspects yesterday after hearing arguments by prosecution and defence lawyers, sources said.
Though, there was no official word on the proceedings due to a gag order imposed by the court. The judge scheduled the next hearing for October 17.
However, Khwaja Sultan, one of the four defence lawyers, raised objections about the manner in which the suspects were indicted. Sultan told reporters that none of the lawyers were present in court at the time of the indictment.
