Mumbai, January 07: Terming Faheem Ansari as a co- conspirator in the 26/11 attacks, government counsel Ujjwal Nikam today told the Bombay High Court that he had cheated the Pakistani government by procuring a passport in a fictitious name.
The passport itself was not a forged document but the information given by Faheem was false, Nikam told a division bench which is hearing an appeal filed by the Maharashtra government against the order of the trial court acquitting Faheem and Sabauddin Ahmed due to “doubtful evidence”.
The duo is charged with drawing maps of Mumbai targets and supplying them to LeT which in turn gave them to Ajmal Kasab and other terrorists to execute the attacks on November 26, 2008.
