Pakistan on Monday assured to "examine every evidence" that India provides with regard to its fugitives, including Dawood Ibrahim [Images], under the joint mechanism on anti-terrorism set up by the two countries.

"Pakistan will examine any evidence or every evidence that India gives with regard to any apprehensions they have," Islamabad's High Commissioner Aziz Ahmed Khan told NDTV.

Asked whether Islambad would look into the matter of Dawood, one of the most wanted men in India believed to be in Pakistan, he said "including everyone".

The envoy said his country expected the same from India. "We will examine just as we would expect India to examine whatever we convey to them of our apprehensions," Khan said.

India has been pressing Pakistan to hand over Dawood, the prime accused in the 1993 Mumbai blasts, who is believed to be living in Karachi.

Pakistan has, however, been denying his existence in that country.

New Delhi has also been seeking deportation from Pakistan of 19 other top wanted terrorists and criminals, including Lashkar-e-Tayiba chief Hafiz Mohammed Sayed, Jaish-e-Mohammed leader Masood Azhar and Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin.
