The 26/11 Mumbai terror attack involving Mohd Ajmal Amir Kasab was carried out with a calculated design, aimed at causing communal tension in the country by projecting that it was the handiwork of Indian Muslims, the Supreme Court was told on Tuesday.
The terror attack was with a calculated design to pose that it was an attack by Indian Muslims. This was their deliberate design to flare up communal tension in the country, former Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam and Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam submitted to a Bench of Justices Aftab Alam and C K Prasad.
They said the evidence and material collected during the investigation established that the Paksitani handlers of the 10 terrorists had planned the attack in such a manner that it would have resulted in tension between the majority and the minority communities.
Therefore, it is a time for the Supreme Court to address this vital issue in detail for the purpose that the attack was carried out in such manner that would have caused communal unrest in the country, the prosecutors said, while seeking the apex court's endorsement to the death sentence awarded to 24-year-old Kasab.
The Maharashtra Police said Pakistani handlers had chosen Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminal (CST) as one of the target as it was one of the most important railway stations in Mumbai, connecting the city with other parts of the country.
They had earlier submitted that Kasab's confession coupled with the intercepted conversation between the terrorists and their Pakistani handlers proved that the assault on the commercial capital was a result of a meticulous planning across the border.
Kasab is the sole convict of the carnage in which 166 people were killed. He has pleaded with the Supreme Court to commute his death sentence to life imprisonment.
