The BBC reported the authorities did not say how the suspects' identities were obtained but the lone survivor has been undergoing interrogation since his capture.

About 180 people died in the Mumbai attacks.

The release of the suspects' names comes as Pakistan reported the arrest of two leading militants India claims planned the attacks. Pakistan, however, declined to hand over the two to India as demanded by New Delhi.
