New Delhi: India will hand over a revised list of Most Wanted fugitives to Pakistan ahead of the Foreign Minister level talks on Wednesday.
The revised list containing 48 names will be handed over by the Ministry of Home Affairs to the Ministry of External Affairs, which will then be handed over to Pakistan.
The old list of Most Wanted fugitives had 50 names and Lashkar-e-Toiba founder Hafiz Saeed topped the list.
In a major embarrassment for the government, two people whose names were on the Most Wanted list were found to be in India. While accused number 24 Feroz Abdul Rashid Khan was traced to Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail, another alleged terrorist Wazhul Kamar Khan, accused in three bomb blasts, was found to be residing in Thane.
Feroz alias Hamza, is wanted in the 1993 Bombay blast case and was arrested in February 2010. Khan is an accused in the 2003 Mulund train blast, the 2003 Vile-Parle and Ghatkopar blasts besides the 2002 Mumbai Central blasts.
Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary of India Nirupama Rao met Foreign Secretary of Pakistan Salman Bashir on Tuesday to set the agenda for the meeting of Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar with Minister of External Affairs SM Krishna.
