Sahabuddin Umavi (died 2015) was a Pakistani terrorist and a leader of the Lashkar-e-Taiba jihadist group. Umavi oversaw the training of all ten of the 2008 Mumbai attackers before they were sent on their suicide mission to India, after which he went into hiding in Pakistan; he chose to be "imprisoned" at the Rawalpindi Jail, where he settled in as if the jail was a hotel. Umavi was kept under heavy guard by police, but, by 2015, he suffered from back pains and required weekly injections from his personal doctor. In 2015, during Operation Phantom, India's RAW agency recruited his doctor's assistant Amina Bi to poison Umavi's injection in order to help her avenge the death of her son, Arshad Bi, who had been manipulated by LeT into becoming a suicide bomber. The head of the prison's security, Faizan Sayyed, was warned of the assassination plot by Bi's extremist nephew, but he was too late to prevent the doctor from administering the fatal shot, which killed Umavi almost instantly.
