The eight-member Pakistani judicial commission, which is in India to gather evidence from witnesses for the 26/ 11 terror attack case being heard in Pakistan, arrived in Mumbai on Thursday.
Earlier, the commission held a close-door meeting with special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam in New Delhi. Nikam later met Home Minister P. Chidambaram, Union home secretary R. K. Singh and apprised them about his three-hour-long discussions.
The committee is collecting the evidence to help the trial against LeT commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and six other suspects, who are being prosecuted in a court in Pakistan.
The Choudhary Zulfiqar Ali-led panel will note down on Friday the statements of metropolitan magistrate R. V. Waghule, who had taken on record Ajmal Qasab’s first confessional statement, as well as that of investigating officer Ramesh Mahale.
Apart from the two, the commission will also record statements of two doctors, Shailesh Mohite and Ganesh Nitukar, who had performed the postmortem on the nine slain terrorists.
