According to the JuD, Prof Abdul Rahman Makki had been ill for the past few days and was undergoing treatment following high diabetes at a private hospital in Lahore.
“Makki suffered a cardiac arrest early this morning. He breathed his last in the hospital,” a JuD official said.
Abdul Rahman Makki, who is the brother-in-law of JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, was handed down six months’ imprisonment in terror financing in 2020 by an anti-terrorism court.
Makki, deputy chief of JuD, had been keeping a low profile after being sentenced in terror financing.
The Pakistan Mutahida Muslim League in a statement said that Makki was an advocate of Pakistan ideology.
In 2023, Makki was designated as a global terrorist by the United Nations, subjecting him to an assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo.
