Now, Kasab chooses Marathi to answer questions

Mumbai, January 20: In his latest antic, Pakistani gunman Ajmal Kasab today chose to answer in Marathi most of the questions put to him by the trial court as he continued to deny his involvement in the 26/11 terror attacks.

“Mee bagitla nahin” (I did not see) and “mala mahit nahin sahib (I do not know sir) were his replies to the questions asked by Judge M L Tahaliyani.

To a question, Kasab said he was not aware that DNA samples retrieved from the blood-stained clothes of deceased constable Tukaram Ombale and traces of blood found on bullets (removed from Ombale’s body) were of the same person.

It is the prosecution’s case that Kasab had shot Ombale when he was grappling with him at Girgaum Chowpatty as a result of which the latter was fatally injured.
