India willing to give Pakistan Rs 560m in return for Hafiz Saeed

Exasperated with Pakistan’s refusal to act against Hafiz Saeed, Indian Home Secretary RK Singh has said India is even ready to pay Rs 560 million to Pakistan if Saeed is handed over to New Delhi, Indian media revealed on Sunday. Reports said Singh’s remark came at the conclusion of the two-day talks in Islamabad on Friday where the much-anticipated signing of the visa agreement between the two countries did not happen. Singh, however, said there was enough evidence provided by India against Saeed which added to the proof collected against Saeed by Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). He said it was adequate to arrest and prosecute Saeed for the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Asked if India would in that case pocket the Rs 560 million bounty offered by the US for providing evidence leading to conviction of Saeed, Singh said India would be more than happy to give Pakistan that amount if they handed over Saeed to India.
