ABSTRACT

The National Security Guard ended the Mumbai attacks after three days of bloody battle with the attackers. Following the attacks, the provincial government and Mumbai police were supposed to file the chargesheet within 60 days. Mumbai's Forensic Science Laboratory experts collected DNA samples from all the places and after examination concluded that the DNA samples collected from the nine deceased terrorists and the arrested terrorist had matched with the DNA of various articles seized from MV Kuber. The Mumbai Police prepared a shoddy chargesheet despite the fact that there was a huge availability of supportive evidence against the terrorists, their perpetrators and against Pakistan's complicity in the attacks. Ending all speculation and Pakistan's denial, India on 22 December 2008 handed over a letter written by Ajmal Kasab to the Pakistani envoy that he and his fellow gunmen were from Pakistan. Zaki-ur Rehman claimed that Kasab's statement to the Indian authorities was not admissible in a case registered in Islamabad.
