Reports from Pakistan indicate he was arrested by the Counter-Terrorism Department of Punjab in Pakistan, while travelling to Gujranwala from Lahore and moved to a jail on judicial remand.
Hafiz Saeed is a UN-designated global terrorist and is the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba. The US has announced a bounty of $10 million for providing evidence leading to his conviction. But he has enjoyed active patronage of the military establishment in Pakistan, which freed Hafiz Saeed several times after arresting him in the past.
