Lone surviving Pakistani gunman Ajmal Kasab is guilty of killing people at The Taj, Hotel Oberoi-Trident and Nariman House although he did not directly participate in the terror attacks at these places, the prosecution argued before the trial court today.
Some portions of confession made by Kasab before a magistrate were corroborated by telephonic talks between the terrorists and their Pakistani handlers intercepted by police during terror attacks, which proved Kasab's role in the conspiracy, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam submitted.
While Kasab and slain terrorist Abu Ismail had rained bullets at people at Chhatrapati Shivaji terminus, Cama Hospital, Metro Junction and planted bombs in two taxis, eight other team members had mercilessly killed people in Hotel Taj, Hotel Trident and Nariman House.
"Kasab has been changing colours from time to time and he has also refused to acknowledge CCTV footage of his friends who struck terror at Hotel Taj, Trident and Nariman House... But I have circumstantial evidence to establish that Kasab is guilty of attacks at these places also," Nikam argued.
Nikam told judge M L Tahaliyani that Kasab had stated in confession that LeT chief Hafeez Sayeed had given a code name
to all the attackers including himself (Kasab). This is
corroborated in telephonic talks between terrorists and their
handlers as the attackers were called by code names.
