26/11 killers quietly buried in January
TNN, Apr 7, 2010, 12.06am IST
MUMBAI: The bodies of nine Pakistani terrorists killed by security forces after the 26/11 terror strike were secretly buried by the police in January, Maharashtra home minister R R Patil told the legislative council on Tuesday. He said the bodies were buried at a secret location.
TOI was the first to report (on December 30, 2009) that the bodies were most likely to be disposed off in January after obtaining the Centre's permission.
President of the Muslim Council Trust Ibrahim Tai said the government had desecrated Maharashtra by burying the bodies of the anti-national elements on its soil. "I had stated that no Muslim will permit the burial of these bodies in any kabristan in the state. The idea was to ensure bodies of people who had performed anti-national and unIslamic killings are not buried anywhere in the state. The government has now hurt Muslim sentiments," Tai told TOI.
"There were about 30 to 40 policemen involved in the operation, including digging of graves and we have buried the bodies keeping their dignity," said Patil. To fool the media, lights and fans were kept on at the morgue, he said.
Police Commissioner D Sivanandhan, ATS chief Rakesh Maria and additional chief secretary (home) Chandra Iyengar declined to disclose where the bodies were buried.
