Histori
In May 2011, after the assassination of Osama bin Laden, India released a list of 50 most wanted fugitives suspected of hiding in Pakistan. This list is prepared in consultation with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the NIA, the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and various law enforcement agencies. According to Interior Ministry spokesman Onkar Kedia, the CBI has named 40 people and the NIA listed 10 terrorist suspects on the list. However, it was later discovered that two persons listed on the CBI's list were actually in India (one in prison and the other with bail), after which the Ministry of Interior directed the agents to review the list. India prepared a new list of 48 names, and handed them to Pakistan in July 2011. The list contained an Interpol red corner notification, details of the alleged crime, alias, Pakistani passport and identity document number of those suspected of hiding in Pakistan. The names on the list are Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, Major Sajid Majid, Major Sameer Ali, Major Syed Abdul Rehman alias Pasha, Major Abu Hamza, Dawood Ibrahim, Tiger Memon, Chhota Shakeel, Ayub Memon, Abdul Razzak, five hijackers Indian Airlines Flight 814 (Ibrahim Athar, Zahoor Ibrahim Mistri), Maulana Masood Azhar, Pir Syed Salahuddin, Zaki ur Rehman Lakhvi, Ilyas Kashmiri, Anwar Ahmed Haji Jamal, Mohammed Dosa, Javed Chikna, Salim Abdul Ghazi, Riyaz Khatri, Munaf Halari, Mohammad Salim Mujhahid, Khan Bashir Ahmed, Yakub Yeda Khan, Mohammed Memon, Irfan Chaugule, Ali Moosa, Sagir Ali Shaikh, Aftab Batki, Amir Raza Khan, Azam Cheema, Syed Zabiuddin Jabi, Ibrahim Athar, Azhar Yusuf, Zahur Ibrahim Mistri, Akhtar Sayeed, Mohammed Shakir, Abdul Rauf Asghar, Amanullah Khan, Sufiyan Mufti, Nachan Akmal, Pathan Yaqoob Khan, Bashir, Lakhbir Singh Rode, Paramjit Singh Pamma, Ranjit Singh and Wadhawa Singh Babbar.
Similar lists have been given to Pakistan in 2004, 2007, 2010 and March 2011. However, Interior Minister P. Chidambaram stated in a May 2011 interview with Karan Thapar about the CNN-IBN Deviance Defenders program, the "They never act on any list", "always underestimate" and describe the process as a "ritual". He also blamed the CBI for an error in the 2011 list.
On May 26, 2013, DNA reported that the NIA had requested each State to submit a report every three months about the latest activities and intelligence on the fugitives in the list. A senior police officer told the newspaper that they should provide "up-to-date information about the recent location of the fugitives, whether they live or die and if they attend religious events recently". The move was reportedly taken to prevent errors in the list, as it has been found in the 2011 list
