The 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks will be reviewed in the Supreme Court on Thursday as the judges deciding the appeal of Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab will go over the CCTV footage of the incident from the quiet ambience of their chamber.

Along with footage of bomb explosions and gunfire, the bench of Justices Aftab Alam and CK Prasad will hear excerpts of the telephone calls that were intercepted between the alleged terrorists and their handlers in Pakistan in which the latter gave minute-by-minute instructions to the attackers.

The Maharashtra police, which investigated the case and secured death sentence for Kasab, will bring the equipment required to screen the tapes in the judges’ chamber and not in the courtroom to avoid any disturbance. The screening would be out of bounds for the media, although the footage shown to the judges had on earlier occasions been screened publicly before the trial court and Bombay High Court.

The prosecution, led by senior advocate Gopal Subramanium and special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, had relied heavily on the telephonic conversations and CCTV footage to link the chain of events in the case and to show the brazen attack by the 10 alleged terrorists who arrived on a boat on the Mumbai sea coast before eventually wreaking havoc.
