NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday handed over a third dossier to Pakistan containing evidence on the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks.
The evidence includes the certified DNA report and the statement of the lone arrested gunman Ajmal Kasab.
The voluminous documentation – consisting of replies to 10 queries made by Pakistan and 15 booklets – was handed over by TCA Raghvan, joint secretary and head of the Pakistan section at the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to Pakistan’s Deputy High Commissioner Riffat Masood at the headquarters of the Indian foreign office.
“The MEA today handed over to the Pakistani High Commission additional information and details related to the Mumbai terror attack sought by Pakistan,” a statement by the ministry here said.
The detailed documents could not be handed over earlier because of legal issues, as the permission of the court was required, a senior official said. The dossier is a “comprehensive set of evidence to enable Pakistan to carry forward the probe”, sources said.
The Pakistani Foreign Office confirmed the information had been received but said it could not yet comment.
