26/11: India gives 5th dossier to Pak on Saeed

New Delhi, Aug 22: India on Friday, Aug 21 gave another dossier to Pakistan on the role of the Jammat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief, Hafiz Saeed in the 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attacks of 2008.

According to sources, the dossier was handed over at a meeting between Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao and Pakistani High Commissioner Shahid Malik.

This dossier comes after the Pakistan said that there was not enough evidence to prosecute Saeed. This fifth dossier reportedly contains information specifically on the JuD chief's involvement in the terror attack that killed over 170 people.

The last dossier on Saeed was given on Aug 1 which included the transcripts of conversations between the Mumbai attackers and their handlers in Pakistan. Handing over this dossier, India said that there was enough evidence to proceed against Saeed.

However on Aug 3 the Supreme Court of Pakistan let off the prime accused in the 26/11 attack citing lack of evidence. The court adjourned the hearing indefinitely after Pakistani authorities admitted that they had no concrete evidence to prosecute the JuD chief.
