India gives more evidence to Pak, asks it to act quickly

New Delhi, Mar 13 (PTI) Responding to Pakistan's queries on Mumbai terror attacks, India today gave it more evidence, including DNA profile and voice recordings of terrorists, and pressed it to prosecute the perpetrators quickly on the basis of "very comprehensive" and "solid" information.

The 401-page dossier, containing question-by-question replies and annexures, was handed over by Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon to Pakistan's High Commissioner to India Shahid Malik here, a month after Islamabad sought more information to help its probe into 26/11.

The second dossier given to Pakistan in two months included telephone conversations of the 10 attackers and their Pakistan-based handlers intercepted during the 60-hour carnage, fingerprints, DNA profiles and other details of the terrorists who struck in Mumbai.

The dossier also included forensic analysis of GPS, ammunition and other equipment used by the terrorists.

The answers to Pakistan's questions are "very comprehensive" and "enough" for it to act fast against the perpetrators of the attacks, Home Minister P Chidambaram said about the dossier that comprised documents and CDs.

"We expect Pakistan to take investigations forward quickly, apprehend all the culprits and either hand them over to India for prosecution and punishment or prosecute them and punish them in Pakistan," he said. PTI
