India will issue Red Corner notice against Masood Azhar: Rijiju

December 20, 2016 19:01

Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said on Tuesday that India would now seek to issue a Red Corner notice against Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar and three others.

"We will issue a Red Corner notice against four terrorists living in Pakistan and initiate extradition process," he told ANI, adding that they will fast-track the cases against them.

The NIA has termed Azhar as the mastermind of the Pathankot terror attack and filed a chargesheet against him and three other JeM commanders. Sanction for prosecution has been obtained from the Ministry of Home Affairs, under the Section 45(1) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, as amended.
