The crime branch of the Mumbai police on Tuesday filed a 14,676 page supplementary chargesheet in the 26/11 terror attack naming Sabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal as one of the key conspirators. The agency named 12 more accused as wanted in the case including a major in the ISI. The chargesheet also contained the confessional statement made by Jundal along with the details of his confrontation with Ajmal Kasab.
“Jundal has clearly fixed the role of ISI in exporting terror to India. It was ISI’s Major Sameer who provided arms and ammunitions for the attacks. The ISI had helped Jundal sneak into Dhaka in May 2006 and from there it ensured he reached Pakistan on a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight without any valid documents,” said joint commissioner of police (crime) Himanshu Roy.
Apart from Major Sameer, the names of 11 wanted accused mentioned in the supplementary chargesheet are Nadeem alias Shahid, Sajid Meer, Yakub, Quasim, Ehsaan Ulla, Saad Shabbir, Hasan Abu Hammad, Rashid Abdulla alias Abdul Raziz, Abu Shoeb, Abu Osama and Imran alias Zeeshan.
The chargesheet states that ISI personnel had even visited the control room that had been set up in the office of LeT’s naval chief Yakub at Malir town in Karachi. The control room had consisted of two televisions, phone connections, laptops among other things and Jundal was giving instructions to the terrorists holed up inside Nariman House.
Mr Roy said the chargesheet includes the names of 1,783 witnesses and 47 wanted accused.
Jundal in his statement said he received a remuneration of `4,000 a month, and that LeT training camps enjoy full support from the local and federal police and paramilitary organisations in Pakistan.
On the voice samples of Jundal intercepted by intelligence agencies during the attack, a crime branch official said, “As Jundal spoke to the footsoldiers through Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) during the attack, we have also recorded his voice through VOIP system while he was in our custody.”
The police said Jundal was provided a passport in Pakistan that was seized by the Delhi police.
