LeT operative and key 26/11 attacks handler Abu Jundal’s plea that he must not be kept in the barrack where hanged terrorist Ajmal Kasab was kept, was rejected on Monday by a local court. “The court rejected the application in which we had sought that he should not be kept in Kasab’s barrack as Jundal was hallucinating about him,” said his lawyer Ejaz Naqvi.
Meanwhile, the Arthur Road Jail officials also filed a report on Monday that Jundal’s mental condition was normal. The court had earlier directed the jail authorities to provide a check-up by a psychiatrist. The jail authorities have also said that he has been given two newspapers daily and some books from the jail library are also provided. Jundal had filed an application saying he was mentally disturbed when detained in Saudi Arabia last year, and was on medication when lodged at the Tihar Jail in Delhi. He also said that Kasab — who was at Arthur Road Jail before he was transferred to Pune’s Yerawada jail for execution — appears in his dreams. Jundal is being tried before the MCOCA court for his alleged role in the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case, where he is one of the 22 accused.
The Maharashtra ATS team had chased a Tata Sumo and a Tata Indica on the Chandwad-Manmad highway near Aurangabad and arrested three persons, and seized 30 kg RDX, 10 AK-47 assault rifles and 3,200 bullets on May 8, 2006. The Indica was allegedly driven by Jundal, who managed to give police a slip at that time. In May 2006, he escaped to Bangladesh, from where he fled to Pakistan using a fake passport.
