Prosecution plea for summons to FBI agents

The prosecution,in its application,pleaded before the court to direct the media not to publish the names and addresses of the agents when they depose in the court. It also requested the court not to include their names in the court’s judgment or any of its records. The court has reserved its order on the plea for Friday.

“Now that most of the charges have been accepted by Kasab in his admission of guilt statement,it is not necessary for us to examine all witnesses. I plan to complete the recording of evidence at the earliest and not more than 50 witnesses would be examined,” Nikam said.

‘A drama’
Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam,who has been marshalling the evidence in the Mumbai terror attack case,has labelled the plead-guilty statement of Ajmal Kasab as another of his dramas to wriggle out from the maximum punishment of death.

Nikam said,“The court’s order has spoiled all attempts of defence to sabotage the trial. Kasab had played a drama with the sentiments of people. The common man is carrying an impression why Kasab is not being convicted and why the prosecution wanted to adduce more evidence.”
