Saeed-led JuD is believed to be the front organisation for the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) which is responsible for carrying out the 2008 Mumbai attack that killed 166 people, including six Americans.

At a hearing on January 10, a questionnaire was handed over to Saeed by a Pakistani anti-terrorism court.
