26/11 attacks: Witness who saw terrorists land goes missing

Mumbai, Jan 13 (PTI) One of the witnesses in the Mumbai terror attacks case, who saw the terrorists land on the city's shores, has gone missing, police said Tuesday.

Anita Uddaiya, who saw the ten terrorists arrive at
the Fisherman's Colony in Cuffe Parade on November 26, has
been missing since January 11.

Police said they have launched a manhunt for the
missing witness, who had been taken to the J J Hospital
earlier to identify the bodies of the nine killed terrorists.

The missing persons complaint was lodged by Uddaiya's
daughter after she went missing from her house in the Cuffe
Parade's Fisherman's Colony.

The Crime Branch of the city police, which is the
investigating agency in the November 26 terror attacks, has
also launched a probe into the incident.

"We are also probing the disappearance of the lady
since she is a witness in the case," Joint Commissioner of
Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria told PTI.

However, Uddaiya was not a key witness in the trial of
arrested terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, he said. PTI AG
