The 26/11 special court on Tuesday issued non-bailable warrants (NBWs) against 22 absconding Pakistanis wanted in connection with the Mumbai attacks case.
The NBWs were issued by Special Judge ML Tahilyani on a plea by Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam for the arrest of all the accused in the case. The wanted include Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed, LeT operative Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah, Abu al Hamza and Abu al-Qama.
Presently, the police have only one Pakistani citizen, Mohammed Ajmal Amir alias Kasab in custody and undergoing trial for his role in the 26/11 attacks. His nine accomplices were gunned down during the 60-hour operations by the combined security forces during Nov 26-28 last year.
The 11,500-plus-page chargesheet filed by Mumbai Police in the 26/11 case had named 35 as wanted accused. None of the accused is of Indian origin nor do they live in India.
However, Nikam had yesterday urged that the court that it should issue NBWs against 27 of the accused as the Indian government doesnt have the addresses of the remaining eight. But, the court issued NBWs against 22 and let off five accused due to lack of evidence.
Mumbai police is now planning to issue Red Corner Notices against all these accused through Interpol. Incidentally, a Pakistani court had released Hafiz Saeed on June 2 after he was kept under the house arrest since December 11 last year following the attack on Mumbai in November.
A red corner notice would make it tough for the accused to move out of Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the cases against Kasab and two other LeT operatives Faheem and Sabauddin would continue to be tried in the courts.
On 26 November 2008, Mumbai was attacked by LeT militants who came from the sea route.
The terrorists had targeted Mumbais Leopald Café, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Hotel Taj, Hotel Trident-Oberoi and Nariman House killing 180 people and injuring hundreds others.
India has since upped the ante against Pakistani authorities and garnered global support forcing Pakistan to go offensive against the terror infrastructure on its soil.
