NEW DELHI – A Pakistani judicial commission will visit India by May 15 to interview key witnesses in connection with the trial of seven Pakistani suspects in 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks case.
During the visit, the judicial commission would take statements of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate R V Sawant Waghule, Investigating Officer Ramesh Mahale, who recorded Mumbai attack convict Ajmal Kasab’s statement, and the doctor who carried out the post-mortem of the alleged terrorists, an Indian TV Channel reported on Saturday.
Pakistan’s contention is that the charges against the seven Lashkar-e-Taiba activists, including its operations commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, are based on Kasab’s statement in Mumbai and hence the magistrate and the IO’s statements were absolutely necessary to submit before the anti-terror court there.
