Pakistan exposed: Kasab’s nation yet to hand over voice sample of eight 26/11 accused

New Delhi: Pakistan has not yet handed over to India voice sample of eight persons accused of conspiracy in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.

Minister of State for Home Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary told Lok Sabha that the voice sample of eight persons accused of conspiracy in the Mumbai terror attack was sought from Pakistan.

"Pakistan has not executed the letters rogatory till now. The government has raised this issue with Pakistan in many fora like the Home/Interior Minister, Secretary level talks, Foreign Secretary level talks," he said in reply to a written question.

Meanwhile, Tariq Khosa - the former Pakistani top cop whose editorial on investigations into the 26/11 Mumbai attack is making headlines in India - probed several other high-profile cases including the assassination of former Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto.

Khosa took over as Director General of Pakistan's premier Federal Investigation Agency in January 2009, just two months after the terror attack in Mumbai , when 10 LeT terrorists sneaked into the city on a boat and attacked major landmarks killing 166 people. Khosa, who headed the investigation in 2009, backed India's claim that the attack was "planned and launched" from Pakistan.

It was in his role as the head of the federal police that he also "initiated criminal investigation of the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto," his website says, adding that he was also entrusted with several "high-profile corruption cases for investigation." Described by Pakistani media as an "officer known for his integrity and impeccable character," Khosa was removed from the post of FIA director general in December 2009 amid allegations that he was being transferred out to thwart his investigations into a massive corruption scandal in the country's steel mills.
