Mumbai, August 06: Pakistan should adduce evidence of terror convict David Headley by making him an approver in the 26/11 attacks case instead of asking India to send Mumbai magistrate R V Sawant Waghule to testify in a court there, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said today.
“If Pakistan is really interested in punishing the perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks, why have they not considered adducing evidence of Headley as an approver through video conference,” asked Nikam, who conducted the 26/11 trial in a special court here.
Asked about his reaction to Pakistan’s request to India on examining evidence of magistrate Sawant Waghule, who had recorded the confession of lone captured terrorist Ajmal Kasab, Nikam said it was prerogative of the government to consider this.
