26/11 attacks: Kasab remanded in police custody till Feb 2
Mumbai, Jan 19 (PTI) Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the
lone terrorist arrested in the November 26 terror attacks in
India's financial capital, was on Monday remanded in police
custody till February 2 in the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
(CST) firing case.
Kasab has been in police custody since his arrest on
the night of November 26 and has been booked in 12 cases by
the city police.
He was last remanded in police custody on January 4
for his involvement with accomplice Ismail Khan in the
shootout at the Cama and the Albless Hospital in south Mumbai.
Due to security concerns, Kasab was not produced in
court today and Additional Metropolitan Magistrate N
Shrimangale and Additional Public Prosecutor E B Dhamal were
escorted to an undisclosed location, where the terrorist is
being kept, for the hearing.
"It was argued that the police had to carry out
further investigations in the case for which custody was
needed," Dhamal said.
When asked by the court, Kasab said he had no
complaints against the police, he said.
Kasab and his accomplice, Ismail Khan, had attacked
the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus on the night of November 26
killing 58 persons and injuring over 100 in the indiscriminate
firing.
Meanwhile, Kasab has been remanded in judicial custody
in four other cases.
The cases are the shootout at Girgaum Chowpatty, the
ambush on a police vehicle near Rang Bhavan auditorium in
which three senior police officials including Joint
Commissioner of Police (ATS) Hemant Karkare were killed, the
theft of a vehicle at Marine Drive and the shootout at Cama
Hospital.
Kasab, allegedly a resident of Faridkot in Pakistan,
has had no legal representation so far and has sought
assistance from the Pakistani government.
He has so far not accepted legal assistance from local
lawyers who have offered to represent him.
Over 180 persons were killed and over 300 injured in
the attacks on November 26 by 10 terrorists at locations like
the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Hotels Taj and Trident and
Nariman house.
Nine of the terrorists who were involved in the
attacks were killed in the subsequent operation by security
forces. PTI
