Speaking at an event organised by the Association of Foreign Affairs Writers here, Mulford said, ‘‘Individuals like him (Dawood), we would like to see them apprehended… He is very much in our sights.’’

India had sought the deportation of Dawood and 29 other ‘‘criminals’’ during the home secretary-level talks with Islamabad here.
