LD KASAB 2

When special Judge M L Tahaliyani referred to his
statement in the confession that Hafeez Sayed had told 30 boys
at the LeT training camp that they would have to lay down
their lives for liberating Kashmir, Kasab said, "This is
absolutely wrong".

Alleging that the police had threatened to administer
electric shocks to him if he did not give a statement to the
magistrate, Kasab said the police had prepared the confession
and forced him to recite it.
Asked by the court, if he was told in the training
that they would go to heaven if they attacked India, Kasab
replied in the negative saying he did not attend the training.
Kasab also denied having told the police anything
about Kuber boat and a dead body found on the boat.
According to the prosecution, the group of ten
terrorists had highjacked Kuber on their way to Mumbai from
Karachi in Pakistan.
"I have never seen the boat; crime branch and FBI
had showed me pictures of Kuber and my clothes and articles
seized from the boat. These articles must belong to either
fishermen or smugglers. The AK 47 rifle may belong to the
police and it is not mine."
An I-card recovered from his trouser pocket was shown
to Kasab in the court Tuesday, but he refused to identify
himself. "It's not me. Trousers are not mine, I was wearing
leather pants," he stated. (MORE) PTI SP
