Mumbai, May 26: The 26/11 special court has come down heavily on the prosecution and investigating agency for submitting “doubtful” and “fragile” evidence against accused Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed that led to their acquittal in the Mumbai terror attack case.
“The evidence of the only prosecution witness is doubtful and unreliable. The investigating agency has failed to provide quality evidence against the duo (Faheem and Sabauddin),” the 1600-page judgement, said.
The court had acquitted Faheem and Sabauddin on 3rd May by giving them the benefit of doubt.
Witness Nooruddin Shaikh had deposed in court that he and another person, Bharat Thakur, had travelled to Nepal in January 2008 where he saw Ansari hand over maps of Mumbai target locations to Sabauddin at a Kathmandu guesthouse.
