First collect voice sample of Lakhvi and hand it over to us: India tells Pakistan
The remarks came a day after Pakistan's National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz said that it is ready to match Lakhvi's voice samples.
Aziz said, "We need the voice sample that you (India) have recorded so we can present it in the court. What is the point of providing it to India? We need the trial here. We are going to write, because we could not meet to ask for the all the additional evidence we require to conclude the trial. This is what the Ufa agreement says. So we are going to write about it and so there fore we need the voice sample here so that we can then present it to court as evidence if it matches."
Earlier, Lakhvi's lawyer said that he would not give his voice sample for the trial of those involved in the incident.
A Pakistan court had granted bail to Lakhvi in December 2014 over lack of evidence.
Lakhvi, along with six others, have been charged with planning and executing the Mumbai attacks in November, 2008 that left 166 people dead.
