NEW DELHI: Stepping up pressure on Pakistan, India on Wednesday came out with a list of 50 "most wanted fugitives" from law here hiding in Pakistan that includes underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, 26/11 mastermind and LeT founder Hafiz Saeed and dreaded terrorist Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi.
The list, which was given to Pakistan during the home secretary-level talks between the two countries in March, has Hafiz Saeed on top followed by Major Iqbal, a suspected serving ISI officer who also figures in the FBI indictment in a Chicago court in connection with the Mumbai attack.
The release of the documents comes two days after the government made public the names of five Pakistanis who had figured in the second chargesheet in the Chicago case of having taken a leading part in the Mumbai attack conspiracy.
It also comes in the midst of acute discomfort for Pakistan which has been tying itself in knots over the charge of sheltering al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden, who was killed in a unilateral US special forces action in Abbottabad.
