Two policemen and a railway announcer identified Ajmal Kasab as one of the gunmen who struck terror at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus on November 26 even as the trial court accepted on record CCTV footage of the attack on Tuesday.

A CD, showing CCTV footage of Kasab and slain terrorist Abu Ismail gunning down people at CST on the day of terror attack, was submitted by prosecution to judge M L Tahiliyani.

The footage would be screened in the special court on June 18 in presence of advocates and media personnel, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said.

The film captures every moment of the attack when the two Lashker-e-Taiba suspects fired indiscriminately at people in the main hall of the local line section.

The 1.15 hour-film covers the incidents that occurred between 2130 hours and 2245 hours on November 26. It is during this period that Kasab and his accomplice killed over 50 people and injured nearly 90.

Earlier, prosecution produced still photographs of the terror attack at CST which were taken by a photojournalist. Both still photographs and CCTV are considered important evidence as they would corroborate version given by eye witnesses, Nikam said.

Railway announcer Vishnu Zende, who was shot at while alerting passengers about the CST attack, also identified Kasab as one of the attackers.

Zende is considered an important witness because it was due to his alert on the public address system that passengers of local trains exited from rear entrance instead of coming to the CST main entrance. Had he not used his presence of mind, the casualties could have been more, Nikam said.
