Anne Mistry,wife of Adil Mistry,told the court that she spoke to one of the terrorists on her husbands cell phone. Mistry said the terrorists had snatched it from her husband. I was frantically trying to get in touch with my husband after he failed to reach home that night. His phone had been switched off for long but finally,a man answered, said Mistry. He audaciously asked me what my religion was. I told him I am a Parsi trying to contact my husband. He snapped at me and said he would kill my husband. I was scared, she told the court. 26/11 remarks based on Vohra report: RaneState Revenue minister Narayan Rane has said that the allegation he had made in the aftermath of the 26/11 attacks,that there was a nexus between politicians and terrorists,was based on the 1993 N N Vohra Committee report. In an affidavit filed before the Bombay High Court,Rane said,The statements made by me in the press conference were,in fact,extracts of relevant portions of the Vohra panel report. His reply came in response to a PIL filed by Solapur-based Purushottam Barde in connection with the press conference on December 6,2008,where Rane had said he knew that some politicians in the ruling party had assisted the terrorists.
