In 2023, Makki, who is also Hafiz Saeed's brother-in-law was added to the UN Security Council’s ISIL (Da’esh) & Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee for his involvement in planning attacks in India.Makki had been unwell for the past few days and was receiving treatment for severe diabetes at a private hospital in Lahore.In May 2019, Abdul Rehman Makki was arrested by the Pakistan government and placed under house arrest in Lahore. In 2020, he was convicted by a Pakistani court in terror financing cases and sentenced to life imprisonment. In January 2023, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) designated Makki as a "global terrorist."Makki played a significant role in financing the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, which resulted in the death of 166 people. Nine terrorists were killed in counter-terror operations, while one, Ajmal Amir Kasab, was captured alive.Beyond the Mumbai attacks, Makki was wanted by Indian security agencies for his involvement in the Red Fort attack on December 22, 2000, where six LeT terrorists stormed the historic fort and opened fire on security personnel. Additionally, in 2018, LeT was implicated in the assassination of Shujaat Bukhari, editor-in-chief of the Rising Kashmir newspaper, along with his two security guards.When designating Makki as a "global terrorist," the UNSC noted, "The Security Council Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011), and 2253 (2015) concerning ISIL (Da’esh), Al-Qaida, and associated individuals, groups, undertakings, and entities approved the addition of the entry specified below to its ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions List of individuals and entities subject to the assets freeze, travel ban, and arms embargo set out in paragraph 1 of Security Council resolution 2610 (2021) and adopted under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations."
