Assistant Police Inspector (API) Pandurang Gavade said that he had taken terrorist Abu Ismail to Nair hospital where he was declared brought dead. Another terrorist, who shot at police officials at Girgaum Chowpatty, was also taken to the hospital for treatment and he (Gavade) had asked his name and address.

"The injured person told me that he was from Faridkot in Pakistan and his name was Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab. He also gave his age as 21," the witness told special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam.

I passed these details to D B Marg police station over telephone, the witness said.

Gavade is the fourth witness in the Mumbai terror attack case who has identified Kasab. He is the fifth one to depose in the case.

Another witness, Sanjay Jadhav, who had drawn a 'panchanama', was also examined to prove that API Sanjay Govilkar was injured in the shootout by the terrorists at Chowpatty.

Jadhav told the court that injured Govilkar's shirt was produced before him at D B Marg police station on December 3.

"The shirt was placed in a cover and sealed in my presence," Jadhav said.

The shirt had blood stains and contained a hole on theright side (indicating that API Govilkar was injured in the waist).

"This is the same shirt which was sealed in my presence," the witness said when it was shown to him in the court.

During cross-examination by defence lawyer Abbas Kazmi, he denied that ready-made panchanama was given to him and he had signed it.

Jadhav also refuted allegations that he was falsely deposing before the court at the instance of police.

26/11 trial: Kasab denied Urdu news papers, given story books

With court refusing him newspapers, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, prime accused in the Mumbai terror attacks case, will have to be contended with story books given by his lawyer.

His advocate Abbas Kazmi said that he had given four story books in Urdu to the jailor two weeks ago and requested that they may be given to Kasab.

Asked if Kasab enjoyed reading the books, "I am not aware whether he had read them. So far he has not made further request for such books," Kazmi said.

Kasab had urged for Urdu newspapers but on Tuesday the court had turned down his plea. The terrorist had previously said that he studied up to fourth standard and can read and write Urdu.

Kasab was keenly watching the court proceedings on Wednesday and did not display his usual mood swings when witnesses were deposing against him.

On Tuesday, the court had rebuked him for laughing all the while (during his trial) and told him to be "serious".
