However, India is still not in a position to judge whether the 36-page dossier given by Pakistan on Saturday night on the action it has taken in connection with the Mumbai attack is credible. Menon said the dossier contains details about the five men arrested by Pakistani agencies in connection with 26/11 and nine proclaimed offenders, and that they are being hunted. There is a mention of some other men Pakistan is searching for possible links to the attack, he added.

Menon said his interlocutors had talked about Pakistan considering “other action” against Lashkar founder Saeed after the government of Pakistan’s Punjab province decided not to appeal against a Supreme Court ruling freeing him from jail. But India, Menon said, was still looking for clarity on this.
