NEW DELHI: India said on Friday it had answered demands from Pakistan for more details on the militant attacks on Mumbai, and said it was now time for Islamabad to take swift action against the alleged plotters.

The Indian government had in January sent Pakistan a dossier that it said ‘unmistakably’ points to elements in Pakistan being behind the November attack by a group of Islamist gunmen.

Pakistan replied in February, admitting for the first time that the strikes were partly planned on its soil but also sending the New Delhi 30 specific questions on the evidence.

‘We have put together the answers to the 30 questions submitted by Pakistan. It’s a very comprehensive document, it answers every question,’ Indian Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram told reporters.

‘We expect Pakistan to take the investigation forward quickly, apprehend all the culprits and hand them over to India for prosecution and punishment or prosecute and punish them in Pakistan,’ he said.

Chidambaram said the latest dossier would be handed over ‘shortly’ to Pakistan’s High Commissioner to New Delhi.

‘Anyone who’s serious about investigating the origins of the Mumbai attacks will find there’s enough material to take the investigation forward,’ he said.

Indian officials have said that many of Pakistan’s requests related to ‘technical and forensic evidence’ from the gunmen, such as DNA samples.

Pakistan had also reportedly asked for mobile phone transcripts and voice recordings of the gunmen’s associates to establish ‘connectivity and communication of the terrorists with militants based abroad.’
