Pakistani authorities have claimed that the latest dossier provided by India on the Mumbai attacks is "inadequate" to prosecute several Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives being tried by an anti-terror court, according to a media report today.
"Our security agencies, who have studied and analysed the latest dossier from India, have concluded that New Delhi has not provided enough information required by us," an unnamed senior official was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper.
The official claimed there were "a lot of gaps" in the dossier and that it "could be of little help in prosecuting the accused".
India handed over the latest dossier on August 1 in response to a request made by Pakistan in July for more information that was needed to prosecute suspects.
Five LeT operatives – including operations commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi – are currently being tried by an anti-terror court in Rawalpindi for facilitating and executing the Mumbai attacks.
However, diplomatic sources questioned the claim made by Pakistani authorities about the information provided by India.
A dossier handed over by Pakistan last month clearly states that the LeT was behind the attacks and that Pakistani investigators had gathered enough information to prosecute the suspects, a source told PTI.
