Mumbai: With court refusing him newspapers,Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab, the prime accused in the Mumbai terror attacks case, will have to do with story books given by his lawyer.
His lawyer Abbas Kazmi said that he had given four story books in Urdu to the jailor two weeks ago and requested that they may be given to Qasab.
Asked if Qasab enjoyed reading the books, "I am not aware whether he had read them. So far he has not made further request for more such books," Kazmi said.
Qasab had urged for Urdu newspapers but the court had on Tuesday turned down his plea.
The terrorist had said that he studied up to fourth standard and could read and write Urdu.
Qasab was keenly watching the court proceedings today and did not display his usual mood swings when witnesses were deposing against him.
The court had on Tuesday pulled him up for laughing all the while (during trial) and told him to be "serious".
