India has sought United Nation's intervention on the release of Mumbai terror attack mastermind and LeT commander Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi and also requested that it should raise the matter with Pakistan.

India has said that Lakhvi's release was in violation of the norms of the global body.

In a letter to the current Chair of the UN Sanctions Committee Jim McLay, India's Permanent Representative to the UN Asoke Mukherjee said Lakhvi's release by a Pakistani court was in violation of the 1267 UN resolution dealing with designated entities and individuals.

The sanctions measures apply to designated individuals and entities associated with terror groups including Al-Qaeda and LeT, wherever located.
