  • It was Lakhvi who gave money to the family of Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving Pakistani gunman involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, in exchange for his participation in the operation, say reports.

    He is also believed to have led many terror operations in Kashmir and is on the "Most Wanted" list of India's National Investigation Agency (NIA), too.

  • Basic expenses

  • Interestingly, Lakhvi's arrest comes just weeks after the UN Security Council's 1267 sanctions committee allowed the payment of Rs. 1.5 lakh/month to him as "basic" monthly expenses by Pakistan.

    While the UNSC Resolution requires all states to freeze the funds/financial assets/economic resources of designated individuals, it provides for sanction of their basic expenses if there's no objection over the same.
