Another embarrassment for Indian govt

ISLAMABAD, May 20 (APP): The Indian government had to face yet another embarrassing moment when another accused, in the list of 50 fugitives given to Pakistan, was traced in a Mumbai jail. The list consists of fugitives accused in the Mumbai attacks.

According to media reports, Feroz Abdul Rashid Khan was accused in the 1993 Mumbai bombing. On suspicion of his presence in Pakistan, he was included in the 50 most wanted fugitives list. On the contrary, Feroz Abdul Rashid had been serving his sentence in the Arthur Jail in Mumbai.
Feroz Abdul Rashid was on number 24 in the fugitive list. His presence in a Mumbai jail has been a source of embarrassment for India. In the first instance, Wazhul Kamar Khan who was accused in the 2003 Mulund bombing was found residing in India. The Indian Home minister recognized and admitted to his mistake.
