In a damning revelation, videos have surfaced showing Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, living a luxurious life in Pakistan. Despite being officially designated a terrorist by the United Nations and supposedly serving a 15-year sentence, Lakhvi is seen participating in exclusive gym sessions, flaunting a lifestyle that starkly contrasts his supposed imprisonment.
This development comes as Pakistan urges India to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The visuals of Lakhvi have sparked outrage, highlighting Pakistan’s dual narrative of promoting peace on the surface while sheltering terrorists behind the scenes.
Open Gym Sessions: Lakhvi’s Extravagant Life Exposed
The viral video depicts Lakhvi working out under the guidance of a personal trainer, surrounded by state-of-the-art equipment. This VVIP treatment for a convicted terrorist not only shames Pakistan’s judicial claims but also questions the nation’s seriousness in tackling terrorism.
Nicknamed “Chachu” by his trainees, Lakhvi is infamous for orchestrating the 2008 Mumbai attacks that claimed 166 lives, including foreigners. It was Lakhvi who plotted the attack, trained the 10 terrorists involved, and sent them to Mumbai, including Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist captured alive.

According to Pakistan’s official and Supreme Court, Lakhvi should be in jail.

Pakistan’s Hypocrisy on Full Display
While Pakistan appeals for India’s participation in the ICC Champions Trophy in cities like Lahore and Rawalpindi, the very streets hosting international cricket are also home to a man whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent Indians. This glaring contradiction lays bare Pakistan’s duplicity, further validating India’s hesitation to play on Pakistani soil.
India’s Stance Justified
The Indian government’s firm stance against touring Pakistan is further strengthened by this revelation. It raises legitimate concerns about the safety of Indian cricketers in a country where globally recognized terrorists roam freely.
Pakistan’s persistent narrative—that India politicizes sports by refusing to tour—crumbles when juxtaposed with the ground realities. The video of Lakhvi symbolizes a deep-rooted disregard for international norms, painting a grim picture of a country that prioritizes harboring terrorists over fostering genuine peace.

26/11 Legacy: A Haunting Reminder
The 2008 Mumbai attacks remain a scar on the collective conscience of India. The atrocities committed during those 60 hours—planned and executed under Lakhvi’s command—still resonate with every Indian. For Pakistan to shelter such individuals while inviting India for a sporting event reeks of insincerity.
A Global Call for Accountability
This revelation demands a global call for Pakistan to be held accountable for its failure to act against terrorism. While Pakistan continues its charade of peace, the open existence of terrorists like Lakhvi undermines its credibility on the international stage.

Conclusion
The exposure of Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi’s lavish lifestyle is more than a mere embarrassment for Pakistan; it’s a stark reminder of its systemic support for terrorism. As the world watches, this incident solidifies India’s stand against engaging with Pakistan, either on the cricket field or at the diplomatic table, until it confronts its dark reality.
India must not relent in exposing Pakistan’s duplicity, ensuring that the global community recognizes the true face of a nation that shelters the very enemies of peace.
