==Relations with Pakistan army and ISI==
It is said that both the [[Pakistan Army]] and the [[Inter-Services Intelligence|ISI]] are trying to ensure that crucial evidence against Lakhvi in the Mumbai terror attack case, most of which is available in Pakistan itself, is not presented before the court.<ref name="asianage.com"/><ref name="surabhimalik,prasadsanyal"/> During his stay in [[Central Jail Rawalpindi|Adiala Jail Rawalpindi]], he was provided access to a cellphone and permission to meet his close associates.<ref name="asianage.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.asianage.com/india/pakistan-army-and-isi-want-lakhvi-out-795|title='Pakistan Army and ISI want Lakhvi out'|work=The Asian Age}}</ref><ref name="surabhimalik,prasadsanyal">{{cite web|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/isi-destroyed-26-11-control-room-in-karachi-after-zaki-ur-rehman-lakhvis-arrest-abu-jundal-490231|title=ISI destroyed 26/11 control room in Karachi after Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi's arrest: Abu Jundal|author=Surabhi Malik, Prasad Sanyal|date=28 June 2012|work=NDTV.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://zeenews.india.com/news/nation/dawood-ibrahim-protected-by-isi-lakhvi-calls-shots-in-let-abdul-karim-tunda_869901.html|title=Dawood Ibrahim protected by ISI, Lakhvi calls shots in LeT: Abdul Karim Tunda|work=Zee News|date=18 August 2013}}</ref>

When he was jailed owing to international pressure, he even managed to father a child in jail. On 29 November 2012, India posed a question to Pakistan about Lakhvi having become a proud father. When he was arrested in 2009 for the 26/11 there was no mention of him being a father of a new born child. However, in the year 2010. while he was still in jail, he announced the good news to several of his accomplices including Abu Jundal. In Pakistan, he is known as the imam of Jihadis. He has put his family on the battle field and every person in the Lashkar is in awe of him for this.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Nanjappa|first=Vicky|date=2020-11-20|title=Televisions, mobiles, cars, conjugal rights: The VIP Jihadis of Pakistan|url=https://www.oneindia.com/india/televisions-mobiles-cars-conjugal-rights-the-vip-jihadis-of-pakistan-3179028.html|access-date=2020-11-24|website=www.oneindia.com|language=en}}</ref>

Moreover, India also confronted Pakistan with more proof about him being meted out privileges while in jail which included orderlies and also a television set and communication access.<ref name=":0" />

According to the ''[[Deccan Herald]]'', [[China]] has blocked the [[United Nations]]' attempts to place Lakhvi on its list of suspected terrorists whose financial assets should be frozen.<ref name=deccanherald2019-03-11/>
