Islamabad, Juy 04: Pakistan government yesterday informed an anti-terror court hearing the Mumbai attack case involving LeT’s Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and six other suspects that the latest Indian dossier on the 26/11 strikes said Ajmal Kasab could not be sent to Pakistan to testify against the accused.
A government lawyer appeared before Judge Malik Muhammad Akram Awan, who is conducting the trial in the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi for security reasons, and said India’s latest dossier had said that it would not be possible to send Kasab to Pakistan to join the court’s proceedings.
The government lawyer said the anti-terrorism court could now make a request for the Indian magistrates and a police officer who had recorded Kasab’s statement to come to Pakistan to testify.
The government too is looking into this matter and will make a request in this regard, the lawyer said.
