New Delhi:
As news broke that another man listed by India among the 50 most wanted in Pakistan was in Mumbai - much like Wazhul Khan who was found living in city earlier this week - the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) accepted its mistake.
Sources said the CBI had also written to the Home Ministry about the blunder.
The CBI says it is inquiring into how the name of Feroz Abdul Khan, a 1993 blasts accused now at the Arthur Road Jail had been listed at No 24 among the names of fugitives handed over by India to Pakistan recently.
An Inspector had been suspended and a superintendent of police and deputy superintendent of police had been transferred pending enquiry. All are from the Interpol branch.
In a late night statement, the central investigating agency said, " The lapse occurred on the part of an official who failed to request Interpol Lyon for the cancellation of Red Corner Notice and to update the records of Interpol Wing, CBI. The Interpol Wing of CBI is carrying out a thorough review of the remaining persons on the most wanted list. Director, CBI has ordered a complete review of the working of the Interpol Wing by an officer of the rank of Joint Director."
On Tuesday another man named on the list, Wazhul Khan, had been found living in India, not Pakistan.
Khan, an accused in the 2003 Mulund blasts, has been living in Thane's Waghle Estate with his mother, wife and children, after he was let out on bail, sources said. The forty-four-year-old was also involved in the 2003 Vile Parle and Ghatkopar blasts, besides the 2002 Mumbai Central station blasts.
