Lashkar-e-Tayyaba militant Abu Jundal has admitted that two of the four voice samples of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks he was made to listen during interrogation were his.
Though Jundal’s admission during custodial interrogation is not admissible as evidence in court of law but if backed by the Voice Spectrum Tests the court can consider it as evidence during the trial. Investigating agencies have already taken a sample of Jundal’s voice and sent it for forensic examination along with the 26/11 tapes.
Sources said the samples are being tested at two different forensic labs following which an opinion will also be taken from the FBI that helped confirm Jundal’s DNA test also. Intelligence agencies are in no hurry to get the results of the voice samples and have told the two forensic labs to do a “foolproof test’’ on the voice samples, sources added.
Meanwhile, even as Pakistan continues to remain in the denial mode regarding state support to Jundal, sources said during the recently concluded foreign secretary-level talks, some Pakistani officials remarked that they would first wait and see if the evidence provided by Indian agencies stands the test of trial in a court of law or not.
