One of the accused in 26/11 terror attack case, Sabauddin Ahmed, has filed a complaint before a magistrate in Mumbai alleging that David Headley was one of the officers who had interrogated and threatened him.
"Headley was one of the foreign officials who had interrogated Sabauddin soon after his arrest in the 26/11 case. Headley had tried to forcefully record his confessional statement," the complaint alleges.
"The magistrate has directed for Sabauddin to be produced before him on February 2, 2010 for recording his statement," his lawyer Ejaz Naqvi told PTI.
Reacting to the development, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam termed the move as an attempt to delay the trial.
"There is absolutely no such evidence. This is a deliberate attempt by Naqvi and the accused to prolong the trial," Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told PTI.
Along with Paksitani gunman Ajmal Kasab, two Indians Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed have also been charged for conspiracy and their involvement in the Mumbai terror attacks. Faheem and Sabahuddin have been accused of preparing maps of the terror sites.
The defence lawyer would, however, have to first submit a copy of the complaint and the magistrate's order before special 26/11 trial Judge M L Tahaliyani and obtain a cognizance order from him.
