Chandigarh, January 16
Five members of the dreaded Dawood Ibrahim group responsible for the 1993 Bombay bomb blasts, five suspected hijackers of the 1999 IC-814 flight from Kathmandu to New Delhi and five suspected Sikh terrorists, including Paramjit Singh Panjwad and Wadhawa Singh Babbar , are in the list of 20 terrorists presently hiding in Pakistan whose extradition has been demanded by the Government of India.

All these 20 terrorists figure on the red corner wanted list of the Interpol. There have been speculations about those mentioned in the list given by the Indian Government to Pakistan after the December 13 attack on Parliament in New Delhi.

The list also carries the name of Mohd Masood Azhar, alias Vali Adam Isa, alias Maulana Masood, principal accused in the December 13 attack. Mohd Masood Azhar is the chief of the now banned Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Only those wanted persons are brought on the red corner list by the Interpol against whom charges of serious heinous crime are pending in a member country's police force.

Besides Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, alias Shaikh Dawood Hasan , alias Dawood Sabri, the kingpin of the Dawood Ibrahim group, other terrorists wanted by Mumbai police in connection with the March, 1993 bomb blasts in Mumbai are Memon Ayub, Memon Ibrahim, alias Tiger, alias Mushtaq, alias Sikander; Pathan Izzaz and Shaikh Shaqeel, alias Chhota Shakeel, who some time ago had managed to escape from Singapore.

The most notable Punjab terrorists demanded by India include the Khalistan Commando chief, Paramjit Singh Panjwad, about whose presence in Pakistan, Wassan Singh Zaffarwal, chief of Khalistan Commando Force (Zaffarwal), had made disclosures during his interrogation after his arrest by the Punjab police in April last year.

It was Wassan Singh Zaffarwal who had confirmed presence of several Punjab terrorists, including Wadhawa Singh Babbar, Lakhbir Singh Rode and Ranjeet Singh in Pakistan.

Gajinder Singh, alias Gajinder Singh Khalsa, now in Pakistan for the past several years after he hijacked an Indian Airlines flight in 1981, also figures in the list of wanted people. While Paramjit Singh Panjwad headed the KCF (Panjwad), Wadhawa Singh Babbar was acknowledged chief of the Babbar Khalsa International, Ranjeet Singh, alias Manpreet Singh, alias Neeta, leader of Khalistan Zindabad Force, too, had been camping in Pakistan, says the list.
