The focus in India of course is already on whether or not there are any Indians in this list.

There have also been media reports that some 250 Indian names were found in the Lichtenstein Bank list, and a list of 26 of the account holders has already been submitted by the government in Supreme Court, though it refuses to make it public, citing a double taxation treaty with Germany.
