Sources said India will push Pakistan to use evidence gathered by Indian intelligence agencies against David Coleman Headley and Tawahur Hussain Rana in the ongoing trial in Pakistan to nail their roles in the 26/11 attack.
They include Lakhvi and Major Sameer Ali of ISI who was director of operations for the attack.

As if it will make any difference. Kaunsa sharam..? kaayka sharam..? Kuch bacha toh hi farak padega na bhai!
& who will present these evidences & to which court? If you have decided the fate of this case beforehand...no amount of evidences will make any difference.. even if dead man comes out of the grave to give evidence! There is a reason why this case is heard secretly away from public & media glare!

Dossier will be given again to Pakistan Government.
US national Headley, an alleged member of LeT and his Canadian accomplice Rana are accused of plotting terror activities, including 26/11 attack in India, but India has not managed to gain access to the duo. The two are currently in prison in the US.
A one-page joint statement outlining a five-point roadmap issued after the Modi-Sharif meeting said,“Both sides agreed to discuss ways and means to expedite the Mumbai case trial (in Pakistan), including additional information like providing voice samples.”“The two leaders agreed that India and Pakistan have collective responsibility to ensure peace and promote development.” India will push Pak to use evidence gathered by Indian intelligence agencies against Headley & Rana
It does punch a counter narrative hole in their fight against terrorism theoryAs if it will make any difference. Kaunsa sharam..? kaayka sharam..? Kuch bacha toh hi farak padega na bhai!

As if we haven't given enough of that thing already....
If US wanted...they could have published 26/11 evidence long time ago. U.S could easily give access to Denmark to interrogate David Headley 'cause he planned to attack that cartoon publication place...but refused access to Indian investigators despite the crime was executed by Headley. Just goes to show US double standards.
Like I said earlier...there have been many statements & promises made even in the past, only to be consigned to trash can as soon as the meeting got over.
I know...but does anyone take their word seriously even now? China is the one Country which has their back in international community no matter what the merit of the case is...but that's only due to their self interest, not 'cause Pak has any case.

Former Home Secy RK Singh nails Pakistan's lie on 26/11 trial, says India has given enough evidence | Zee News
Last Updated: Monday, July 13, 2015 - 20:30
New Delhi: Pakistan's sudden U-turn on expediting the 26/11 trial and its demand for more 'concrete evidence' related to the Mumbai terror attacks evoked sharp reactions on Monday from several quarters, including former Home Secretary and now BJP MP RK Singh, who accused Islamabad of behaving irresponsibly on the issue.
According to ANI, the former Union Home Secretary Singh said, “The entire 26/11 conspiracy was planned in Pakistan, we have provided enough proof to the country in the past.”
Hitting back at Islamabad, Singh said, “The Pakistan Government is controlled by ISI, however, we will stick to the Modi-Sharif joint statement (on expediting the 26/11 trial.”
Singh went on to say that “Pakistan's notorious spy agency Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) knows that if a proper investigation is done in the Mumbai attacks then many of its officers will be indicted.”
Reacting to Pakistan's National Security Adviser Sartaj Aziz's remarks that they need more information to take the Mumbai terror attacks trial forward, Singh said, “This statement is addressed to their (Pakistan) domestic audience, it defies all logic.”
RK Singh's reaction came three days after Pakistan agreed to expedite 26/11 Mumbai attacks trial and later backtracked to its old position of oscillation on the issue.
Adviser to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said that Pakistan needs more information to take the Mumbai terror attacks trial forward.
“We need more evidence and information to expedite the trial,” Aziz said. He was quick to add that Pakistan's Prime Minister had also raised the Samjhauta blast case during talks with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi and sought details on the progress in the case.
Aziz also stressed that no dialogue process will take place with India unless Kashmir issue is not included in it. Pakistan stays firms on its principled stance on the issue with dignity and honour and no compromise will be made on it, he said.
Aziz took the new line on the 26/11 case hours after Pakistan did a U-turn stating that voice sample of LeT operations commander and Mumbai attack mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi is not likely to be provided, two days after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif gave a commitment in this regard to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
Importantly, PM Sharif had faced criticism for no mention of the Kashmir in a joint statement that mentioned terrorism and the need to expedite the Mumbai trial.
Prosecution team's chief Chaudhry Azhar said that four years ago, a Rawalpindi court, handling the Mumbai terror attack case, had dismissed an application for obtaining voice sample of Lakhvi on the ground that no such law exists in the country that allows obtaining of voice sample of an accused.
Azhar said that the Pakistan government will not file a fresh petition in the anti-terrorism court requesting for obtaining voice sample of Lakhvi in the 26/11 case. Lakhvi is presently out of bail due to lack of evidence.
Lakhvi's lawyer Rizwan Abbasi too said his client cannot be forced to give a voice sample as it is against the Constitution of Pakistan. "There is no as such law in Pakistan which can force anyone to submit voice sample. If my client wishes he will not submit sample of voice," said Abbasi.
Reacting to the development, 26/11 case prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said, “The attitude of Pakistan shows that its does not want to move against the perpetrators of 26/11 attacks. I am surprised that he (Aziz) asks for such evidence when it is abundantly clear that the conspiracy was hatched on Pakistani soil.”
Meanwhile, downplaying Pakistan NSA Sartaj Aziz's remarks that no dialogue with India will take place without including Kashmir issue, BJP also today said that such statements are intended for domestic audience and bilateral talks will proceed on the lines of Ufa joint statement of the two countries.
BJP, which had termed as "game-changing" the outcome of talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif, asserted that the joint statement will guide bilateral engagements.
"A lot of statement coming from others are also possibly intended to address their domestic constituencies. As fas as we are concerned, the discussion, engagement will largely happen on the lines of the joint statement," party spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao said.

Those who are involved in Samjhauta blast are still in Indian jails and case is running against them but in case on those who are involved in 26/11 are not in jail even when evidence is provided against them.

26/11 plotter Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi 'living in an ISI safehouse in Lahore' | Zee News
Supriya Jha | Last Updated: Tuesday, July 14, 2015 - 11:03
Zee Media Bureau/Supriya Jha
Islamabad: Even as India continues to fume over Pakistan's sloppiness in the trial of 2008 Mumbai attacks case, prime accused Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi is enjoying a comfortable stay with his wife in an ISI safehouse in Lahore.
Not only this, reports also claim that Lakhvi is chairing a high-level meeting with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) commanders at the house, which is being protected by Pakistani Army commandos .
The report further exposes Pakistan's covert ties with the militant outfits like the LeT and also highlights the doublespeak of authorities who keep going back on their promises of expediting the 26/11 trial.
The report of Lakhvi's comfy stay in the confines of a safehouse being watched over by ISI and Pakistani Army commandos is another disturbing news for India after Pakistan went back on its promise of providing Lakhvi's voice samples.
Last week, PM Narendra Modi met Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif in the Russian city of Ufa on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit and among other things decided to expedite the trial of Mumbai terror attacks case, by providing additional information like providing voice samples.
However, just a couple of days later, the prosecution team of Lakhvi closed the door on the issue of obtaining his voice sample, saying, “The issue of obtaining voice sample of Lakhvi has been over”.
According to a PTI report, Lakhvi's prosecution team's chief Chaudhry Azhar has confirmed that Pakistan will not file a fresh petition in an anti-terrorism court requesting for obtaining his voice sample as "no such law exists".
Also yesterday, Pakistan Prime Minister's Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz further worsened the matters by saying Pakistan needs more information and evidence from India in Lakhvi's trial.
The Mumbai attack mastermind, who was released from Adiala Jail on April 10 on bail, has skipped appearance in the court on several occasions in the past, though the law mandates for an accused on bail to appear in a court hearing.
He was was released from Adiala Jail after the Lahore High Court suspended his detention under a security act.

26/11 attack accused killed 6 mnths before the assault: Witness
Islamabad, Jul 15, 2015, (PTI)
A witness in the Mumbai terror attack case today claimed before a Pakistani anti-terrorism court that his brother, one of the accused in the case, was killed in a US drone strike in Waziristan six months before the 26/11 attack.
The witness, Bhalol Khan, recorded his statement in the Anti-Terrorism Court (Islamabad), which is holding the trial of seven Mumbai attack accused, including LeT operations commander Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi.
Bhalol told the court, which is hearing the case at the high security Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, that his brother Abdullah alias Saddam, one of the accused in terror attack case, was killed in a US drone attack in Wana on May 31, 2008.
He claimed that his brother was killed some six months before the Mumbai attack took place on November 26, 2008.
The other three witnesses did not turn up in the court to record their statements.
The court adjourned the hearing till July 23.
According to the Federal Investigation Agency's Red Book, Abdullah was involved in the Pakistan Air Force Kamra Air base attack in 2008 and assassination attempt on former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in 2007.
Lakhvi, 55, and six other accused - Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younis Anjum - have been lodged in Adiala Jail for nearly six years in connection with planning and executing the Mumbai attack in November, 2008 that left 166 people killed.
Lakhvi was released from jail on April 10 after securing bail.
Ten other co-accused, said to be either trainers or facilitators of the terrorists who launched the attacks in Mumbai, had been declared "proclaimed offenders or fugitives" by the anti-terrorism court.

Common link between 26/11 financiers, Hurriyat Conference member charged by ED | Zee News
Last Updated: Sunday, July 19, 2015 - 13:59
Srinagar: Probe agencies have found a common link between money received by Firdous Ahmad Shah, a member of Syed Ali Shah Geelani's hardline Hurriyat Conference, and financiers of 26/11.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which recently filed its first charge sheet in a money laundering case in the Kashmir Valley, has alleged that Shah, Chairman of Democratic Political Movement, received over Rs three crore between 2007 to 2010.
The money was received from 'Madina Trading' located in Brescia in Italy and sender was claimed to be Javed Iqbal, a resident of Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (Azad Kashmir). However, after Italian police arrested two Pakistani nationals in 2009, it was alleged that the firm had made nearly 300 transfers in the name of Iqbal, who probably had never set his foot in Italy.
The Italian police, while concluding the probe had said the Brescia-based company had made several transfers using the identity of totally innocent, unsuspecting persons, whose identity cards or passports may have been stolen.
In the case of Iqbal, his identity may have been stolen when he used another money transfer agency in Pakistan.
The name of Madina trading had cropped up during the investigation of 26/11 Mumbai attacks when it was found that the second payment of 229 US dollars was wired to Callphonex via Western Union Money Transfer receipt number 8364307716-0 for activitating the Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) used during the terror strikes.
The sender of this payment was Javed Iqbal and he had used Western Union Money Transfer agent Madina Trading to make the payment to Callphonex.
For identification, Iqbal provided Madina Trading with Pakistani passport number KC092481, the charge sheet said.
During the scrutiny of 300 entries of wire transfers, it was found that the money had been allegedly sent to Shah and his associate Yar Mohammed Khan in small amounts, the sources said.
The charge sheet, which has been filed in the court of Sessions Judge, Srinagar (Special Judge, Money Laundering), naming Shah and Khan, alleged that the two men received money from Italy through Western Union Money Transfer and it was used for unlawful activities relating to terror funding.
When contacted, Shah denied the allegation and said the matter was in the court and it will be decided there.
While ED claims Shah admitted to having received money through wire transfers, he himself denied it saying, "I don't remember. There was some money that had come to Khan but I don't remember as of now."
The ED attached Shah's house at Abi Gujar in Lal Chowk, which was, however, released by the court and the matter is under adjudication. Besides this, Rs one lakh belonging to Khan has been frozen, the official said.
The previous Omar Abdullah government had taken up with the Centre the need for roping in Enforcement Directorate to deal with the issue of financing terror groups through illegal means.

Four years on, Pakistan FIA realises Lakhvi's voice sample can't be used as proof | Zee News
Last Updated: Sunday, July 19, 2015 - 14:54
Karachi: Pakistan`s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has said that Mumbai 26/11 terror attacks accused Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi`s voice samples cannot be used as evidence.
A senior prosecutor in the Mumbai attacks case said that the samples could be `helpful` in the course of the investigation but the audio recorded by the Indian intelligence could not be used as evidence as there is no law under which the authenticity of the voice could be proved, reported the Dawn.
He added that while the existing laws permitted the use of electronic evidence, there was no provision under which the accused could be directed to provide an audio recording of his voice, which could then be matched with available samples.
Prosecutor Mohammad Azhar Chaudhry also echoed the same view, saying that the issue of the voice sample was over now.
The FIA had been seeking Lakhvi`s voice sample for the last four years.
After the Indian side brought up the Lakhvi trial during Ufa meeting, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif`s advisor on national security and foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz had said that Pakistan needed more information and evidence to conclude the trial.
