Indians also involved: Mumbai police

Published February 13, 2009

NEW DELHI, Feb 12: Mumbai Police Commissioner said on Thursday that some Indians were among the 16 men wanted by police for their role in the Mumbai attacks.

Hasan Gafoor said that two Indians had been arrested in this connection.

Fourteen to sixteen men, including Indians and Pakistanis, are wanted in the attacks, he said, adding: We have included names of these men in the dossier sent to Pakistan.

Mr Gafoor said he was unable to say whether the six names they had submitted were the same as those currently being detained in Pakistan.

Asked for his reaction to Pakistan’s admission, he said it was a positive development.

He added: It is also a very great reflection on the type of investigation by the Mumbai Police. It shows that we had absolutely clinching evidence that has left no doubt about what we are accusing (people of).

The wanted men had conducted ‘recce’ and provided financial and logistical support to the attackers and they belong to north India, media reports quoted Mr Gafoor as saying.

Two Indians have already been arrested while some are absconding, and we have informed Pakistan about them. So there are Indians as well as Pakistanis, he said.—Agencies
