A judicial commission from Pakistan probing the Mumbai terror attacks may not be permitted to visit India, unless an investigation team from India gets to visit the neighbouring country first to examine the need for a trip by the Pakistani panel.
India's home ministry officials here said that they want to send a National Investigation Agency team, which is probing the 26/11 strike, to Pakistan to examine material evidence against key masterminds and accused in the 2008 attacks that claimed over 160 lives, including that of foreign nationals.
Lashkar-e-Toiba commander Zaki ur Rehman Lakhvi and his six other accomplices are facing trial in Pakistan in a Rawalpindi court in connection with the Mumbai attacks.
Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde had raised the issue of the NIA team's visit during his meeting with his counterpart Rehman Malik on the sidelines of the SAARC meeting.
