Home Minister’s statement creates flutter in 26/11 trial court

By NNN-PTI,

Mumbai : The statement made by Home Minister of India’s western state Maharashtra Jayant Patil that judgement in 26/11 terror attack case is likely to be delivered by September 15 has created a flutter in the trial court with the prosecutor saying Patil had been misquoted by the media.

Lone surviving gunman Mohammed Ajmal Kasab and two other suspected members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Faheem Ansari and Shahbuddin Ahmed are undergoing the trial.

While judge M L Tahaliyani said in the court Tuesday that the judgement cannot be delivered so soon and wondered how the minister made such a statement, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam informed that he had personally talked to the minister who clarified that the media misquoted him.
