India asks Pakistan for 20 fugitives

India has asked Pakistan to hand over 20 fugitives from Indian law who it believes are settled in Pakistan.

Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee said India lodged a formal protest and gave the names to Pakistan's high commissioner at a meeting on Monday.

Tensions have risen between the two neighbours since the attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai last week.

Officials say 201 people were killed - including 22 foreigners - and more than 200 were injured in the violence.

Indian officials have repeatedly said in recent days there is evidence the militants behind the attacks had Pakistani links.

Islamabad has denied involvement and warned against letting "miscreants" inflame tensions in the region.

India's new home minister has vowed to "respond with determination and resolve" over the crisis.
