After getting the custody of 26/11 terror accused Sayyed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal on Saturday, the Mumbai crime branch has launched a lengthy and in depth probe into his alleged involvement in the attacks.

The crime branch will first take voice samples from Jundal and compare them with recordings of the conversations that the 26/11 attackers had with their handlers. Jundal is alleged to have been one of them.
Another item on the police’s agenda is to bring Jundal face to face with Ajmal Aamir Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist of the attacks. “We will definitely like to bring both of them face to face and are examining the legal options that would enable us to do so,” said Himanshu Roy, joint commissioner of police (crime).
The crime branch has formed three teams comprising over 50 policemen to handle Jundal. One team will focus solely on his interrogation, and includes officers already involved in the 26/11 probe. Another team has been assigned the job of taking care of the paperwork related to his case, which is expected to be quite heavy considering the charges against him. The third team will monitor his health, meals and other necessities.
Another squad is currently on stand by; it will be sent out of Mumbai to verify any details that are uncovered during the interrogation, the police said.
