Mumbai attacks: Pak court reserves verdict on prosecution plea

Published on: 

A Pakistani anti-terrorism court holding the trial of the Mumbai attacks case has reserved its verdict on a prosecution plea to incorporate the individual postmortem reports of the 166 people killed in the 2008 terrorist attack.

The Anti-Terrorism Court Islamabad held the hearing of the case at the Adiala Jail Rawalpindi yesterday.

“It reserved the verdict after the prosecution and defence lawyers completed their arguments on (a prosecution) plea that amendment in the charges against the seven suspects in abatement to murder of each individual in Mumbai attack should be made,” a court official said.

He said the judge may announce the verdict before the next hearing on April 6.

The prosecution had sought the amendment to the changes “for further strengthening the case against the suspects”.
