Inclusion of Khan in most wanted list a ‘mistake’: HM

New Delhi: Accepting it as a “mistake” and taking “responsibility”, Home Minister P Chidambaram today said the inclusion of terror accused Wazhul Kamar Khan in the list of most wanted fugitives given to Pakistan was a “genuine error” by Mumbai Police and “oversight” by the Intelligence Bureau.
Addressing a press conference a day after the goof up was exposed in the media and facing attack, he contended that it was not such a “monumental mistake” of “calamitous consequence” and said he was prepared to face some “political exchanges” on the issue.
“We take responsibility. It is a mistake. How this mistake has happened has been explained subsequently. CBI through Interpol will notify the arrest of Khan,” he said, adding his name has already removed from the list of wanted men.
