A Mumbai court on Monday issued production warrant against suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Sayed Zabiuddin alias Abu Jundal arrested in Delhi for his alleged complicity in the 26/11 terror attack.

The warrant was issued by PS Rathod, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, on an application by special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and 26/11 case Investigating Officer Ramesh Mahale.

Equipped with the production warrant, a team of Mumbai police would now go to Delhi to seek the custody of Jundal and bring him here to stand trial.

Nikam told the court that Jundal had played a key role in the criminal conspiracy hatched in Pakistan by LeT to strike terror in Mumbai.

In furtherance of this conspiracy, Nikam said, a group of 10 terrorists had arrived here from Karachi by sea, killed 166 people and injured 238 on November 26, 2008.

Nikam said Jundal was handling the terrorists by phone from Karachi when the brazen attack was being perpetrated.

Nikam said Mohamed Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving 26/11 terrorist convicted in the case, had in his confession said Jundal taught them Hindi and interacted with them on telephone from Karachi during the attack.

Prosecutor Nikam referred to Kasab's statement in the trial court, saying Jundal was in touch with them on telephone when the terrorists were carrying out attack on Nariman House, an abode of Jews in Mumbai. Besides, he said, Kasab had testified that Jundal was an Indian national.

The prosecutor pleaded that there was sufficient evidence against Jundal in the 26/11 case and sought his custody for interrogation.
