Mumbai, March 07: The stand taken by lone surviving Pakistani gunman Ajmal Kasab that he is not a terrorist and was being framed by police in the 26/11 terror attack case would pose a big challenge to the prosecution in final arguments slated to begin on March 9 in a special court here.
While Kasab’s lawyer K P Pawar would focus arguments on this aspect, the prosecution led by Ujjwal Nikam would have to disprove Kasab’s statement in the court that he had come from Pakistan by Samjhauta Express as a tourist to Delhi and from there arrived in Mumbai few days before the attacks.
Special Public Prosecutor Nikam would also have to demolish Kasab’s claims that he was not injured in police encounter and that the injury sustained by him in hand was inflicted by police to implicate him in the crime.
