This is looking like Deja vu all over again, and the current regime is going to lose a lot of credibility and goodwill of its supporters if this plays out like "Return of the son of 26/11".
Not that I trust anything the tools in the Indian English media spout these days, but there are loose lips among the bureaucracy as always it appears

Some "source" apparently said this:
“Since Doval and Pakistan’s NSA Nasser Khan Janjua were in touch over the last two weeks, he had a clear idea of the action being taken on the ground,” said the source. “PM’s message to Doval and Jaishankar was clear: trust but verify. That was the underlying message under which they were working,” said sources.
Officials stressed that much will depend on the action taken by Pakistan in the coming days and whether Delhi will be convinced. Sources said that India has sought copies of FIRs and sections or laws under which the Jaish-e-Muhammad members have been apprehended.
The only thing that remains is to be seen as to what monkey business/drama the pakis will present to the Indian Government to make it seem like they are taking action. Is the Indian side really that silly?
These guys are already on a reprise of 26/11 and we can take it for granted that scum like Masood Azhar will be tried in pakistani courts -- the thread on 26/11 makes it very clear that after that we shall see pakistani courts adjourn, have judges go on vacation, male judges impregnated by their colleagus, etc. etc., and then 8 years later, give it all a quiet burial. Obviously, this regime thinks it can avoid a repetition of that same drama this time around, so we'll have to see.
As some quaid-e-duh was praising the "grand masters of suhrawardy" after the previous terrorist attack 6 months ago, along with some serious dhoti-shivering, the pakis seem to be intent on calling the bluff of the Indian govt. should GoI take a hostile stance, and then continue to escalate their terrorist spawning until they get India to react...but then if GoI obviously has no intention of obliging and would prefer to choose the time and place for any actions it may possibly take against the paki scum.
This may explain this drama of Namo holding hands with Nawaz Sharif in Lahore because the alternative explanation of drawing a divide in the civilian and military power centers is silly given that the civilians are subservient to the military. Now, both the FS talks and the NSA talks are going to be "impromptu" and the latter to be held in a third country, so as to preempt all the traitors under ISI payroll in the Indian english media from setting the stage for embarrassing the Indian govt., as was the case in the past, over and over.
Since the pakis are stupid, predictable scum, they will continue to do what they are so used to doing when it comes to India -- first, all of these information provided by the Indian govt. will be used to round up some idiot jihadis or clueless paki as suspects (2) fabricate enough stuff that it seems like it corroborated Indian evidence, which completely nails these escape-goats as bakrid material (3) throw the "pakistani court justice" (or monkey business, as is known to discerning observers) at these escape-goats (4) sentence these escape-goats to prison after establishing that Masood Azhar and JeM were not involved in the Pathankot at all. And then we set the stage for the next set of terrorist attacks from the paki scum...at least, no terror attacks happen while the pakis are intent on playacting "justice for Indian victims". Later, rinse, repeat.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, the Indian government source said, received what he called “informal” information on arrests from his counterpart Lt General (retd) Nasir Janjua. “The impression we were given was that some key individuals have been held, but that this could not be made public as legal processes have yet to begin,” the source said. India, the source said, was also told that Azhar had been kept in informal custody at a house in Islamabad, but that action would depend on evidence gathered during a future investigation.
I won't be accepting any wagers on how this is going to end, if "legal processes" and "FIRs" in pakistan are the best bet of this current regime.
