By IANS,

“The list was prepared by all the (intelligence) agencies. Still, we would take the responsibility,” Pillai told CNN-IBN news channel. He said the ministry will issue a detailed statement Wednesday.

“We deeply regret the blunder. If we make one mistake, it does not mean that we make all mistakes. It is all speculation right now,” he added.

A media report Tuesday had said that Khan, an accused in 2003 Mulund train blast, was living in Thane on the outskirts of Mumbai.
