Mumbai:
Though 18 months have passed since the 26/11 terror attack in which 166 persons were killed, one victim of the carnage at CST railway station remains unidentified.
Even in the copy of the 1600-page judgment passed by special Judge M L Tahaliyani, the victim is listed as an "unidentified male" who died due to fire arm injuries.
Lone surviving convict Ajmal Kasab and his deceased accomplice had opened indiscriminate firing at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST). 54 persons were killed due to gunshot wounds and grenades lobbed by the duo. The victims included men, women and children who were waiting to take long distance trains.
Authorities managed to establish the identities of all the victims killed in the 26/11 attack, except one man shot dead at CST who remains listed only as victim number 113 in the court's judgment. His unclaimed body is still at the J J Hospital morgue.
The judgment discusses in detail the evidence given by over 600 witnesses and the reasons for which the court found a clear Pakistani hand in the conspiracy that went to planning the deadly terror strike.
"Although there is no direct evidence, circumstantial evidence proves that the conspiracy was hatched in Pakistan," Judge Tahaliyani said.
