While demanding the extradition of 20 people from Pakistan for their alleged involvement in terrorist activities, the Indian authorities have provided to the Pakistani authorities Interpol Red Corner notices and details of the crimes committed by them, along with their fake names as well as their Pakistani passports and ID card numbers.

According to a well placed government sources in Islamabad, the documentary evidence that the Indian authorities have provided to Pakistan following the Mumbai attacks include a covering letter seeking request to hand over to India the 20 Most Wanted CBI fugitives, apart from the aforementioned details. The list of 20 include five alleged hijackers of the Indian Airlines' IC-814 flight, at least half a dozen charge-sheeted accused in the Mumbai blasts case (including underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, former Lashkar-e-Toiba chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the now defunct Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Maulana Masood Azhar and the Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin). The list also includes five pro Khalistan Sikh leaders who are allegedly plotting to revive militancy in the Indian state of Punjab.

The covering letter states that these names have been provided to Pakistan time and again since December 2001 and 15 of these fugitives have Interpol Red Corner notices already issued against them. For the remaining five, states the letter, the Interpol Red Corner notices have been sought and are being processed.

The list includes Chhota Shakeel, Ayub Memon and Abdul Razzak. It also carries the names of Ibrahim Athar, Zahoor Ibrahim Mistri, Shahid Akhtar Sayed and Azhar Yusuf — considered to be Maulana Masood Azhar's close associates who had allegedly been involved in the hijacking of the Indian Airlines’ flight IC-814 from Kathmandu to Kabul in 1999. The others include Abdul Karim and Sagir Sabir Ali Shaikh (both Kashmiri freedom fighters blamed for executing almost 30 bomb blasts in Delhi and parts of northern India in 1996-97). Also demanded are the pro Khalistan Sikh leaders including Wadhawan Singh Babbar, the fugitive chief of Babbar Khalsa International, Ranjit Singh Neeta, chief of Khalistan Zindabad Force, Paramjit Singh Panjwar, chief of Khalistan Commando Force, Lakhbir Singh Rode, chief of International Sikh Youth Federation and Gajinder Singh, the chief of Dal Khalsa.
