26/11: Kasab custody extended till Feb 13

The terrorist,arrested on November 26,was not produced in the court today due to security concerns and Additional Metropolitan Magistrate N Shrimangale and Additional Public Prosecutor E B Dhamal were taken to an undisclosed location where he is being kept.

“It was argued that the police had to carry out further investigations in the case for which custody was needed,” Dhamal said.

When asked by the magistrate,Kasab said he had no complaints against the police,he said.

Kasab,a resident of Faridkot in Pakistan,had no legal representation today and did not make any request for a lawyer during the proceedings,Dhamal said.

The ten terrorists,who were involved in the November 26 terror attacks allegedly set sail from Karachi in Pakistan in a vessel ‘Al-Husseini’ after which they hijacked the Gujarat-based fishing boat MV Kuber on November 23.

After taking four crew members of the fishing vessel on board the Al-Husseini,Kasab and his nine associates sailed to within a few nautical miles of Mumbai aboard the Kuber and then killed its captain,Ajay Singh Solanki.
