Nine slain terrorists bodies should be sent to Pak: Nikam

Mumbai, May 24 (PTI) The bodies of nine slain terrorists
lying in a morgue here in India's western metropolis since the
26/11 terror attacks should be sent to Pakistan or disposed of
as per Muslim rites, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam
said Sunday.

The identity of these terrorists has already been
established hence their bodies may be sent to Pakistan, Nikam
told PTI.

"But if Pakistan government refuses to accept them, then
the bodies should be disposed off in accordance with Muslim
tradition," he said.

The independent witnesses have already identified the
bodies of terrorists in test identification parade conducted
by city magistrate. Hence bodies can be disposed off as they
are not required in the trial, Nikam said.

This is perhaps for the first time the bodies have been
identified by witnesses in test identification parade, Nikam
said.

These witnesses had seen the terrorists firing at people
at hotel Taj, hotel Oberoi and other places.

Secretary of Medical Education Bhushan Gagarani recently
opined that the bodies of terrorists may start decomposing
because of humidity and said that his department would give
report to police suggesting speedy disposal of the bodies. PTI
