New Delhi: Turning more heat on Pakistan,
India Wednesday released a list of 50 "most wanted fugitives",
including underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, 26/11 mastermind and

includes Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar, the

Kashmiri, who is accused of transnational crime and conspiracy
to commit various terrorist acts in India, close associates of
