The police had said that it has sufficient circumstantial evidence and phone records to prove that Shahzad was present in the Jamia Nagar flat and was among those who had fired at the police team leading to the death of inspector Sharma.
It had said that Shahzad, along with Junaid, had jumped off the balcony and fled after firing at the police team during the September 19, 2008 encounter.
The counsel, appearing for Shahzad, however, had claimed that he was not present in the flat in which the shootout took place.
The defence had claimed that as per ballistic reports, the bullets found in the slain police officer's body matched with the gun seized from the spot and not from the weapon which was allegedly retrieved from Shahzad's possession when he was arrested.
