The list, which was handed over by Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta in Pakistan during talks with his counterpart on November 25-26 under the composite dialogue, included the names of Masood Azhar, Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon among others.

At the Joint Anti Terror Mechanism (JATM), formed after the Mumbai local train blasts in 2006, India had given a list of 48. It was updated and handed over again on November 26. The same evening 10 Pakistani terrorists carried out the most brazen attack on India.

In its dossier on the Mumbai attacks, which was distributed to representatives of all countries accredited in India, the government has a section that lists out 10 separate occasions since August 2004 during which evidence of Pak-based terror outfits and ISI being active in the country were handed over. The 10 occasions include the three top secret JATM meetings.

In August 2004, India had handed over a list of 25 most wanted fugitives, which increased to 30 by August 2005 and to 35 in May 2006. The same list with details of red-corner notices were repeated in March 2007 when the JATM met for the first time. After that, the Indian team went on to compile a separate list for JATM based on latest interrogation records.

So, in October 2007, India through the JATM gave its most comprehensive list of 48 that included absconders from 1993 Mumbai blasts, IC-814 hijackers, those behind the 2001 Parliament attack and Sikh terrorists besides others involved in illegal arms smuggling and other activities.

When Pakistan reverted in June this year, saying the information on 1993 Mumbai blasts accused was dated, India provided fresh information in the next meeting in October based on interrogation of Dawood aide Karimullah Osain Khan who confirmed the presence of 14 accused in the 1993 case with addresses.

Consider the details shared by India in this section:
