Kasab's lawyers to inspect 26/11 boat

MUMBAI: Lawyers of  Kasab will inspect the dinghy used by the 26/11 terrorists to land in Mumbai. Kasab's lawyers Amin Solkar and Farhana Shah have alleged the dinghy did not have the capacity to hold 10 persons. - Shibu ThomasThe boat is currently housed in the Arthur Road jail premises and is a crucial evidence in the case against Kasab.

The Bombay High court division bench of Justice Ranjana Desai and Justice R V More allowed the defence to check the boat.

The police case is that Kasab and the none other terrorists had travelled from Pakistan in the boat Al-Husseini. They then hijacked the Indian fishing boat "Kuber" to reach Mumbai. They abandoned Kuber, and used the dhingy to land at Budhwar Park.

Meanwhile, the defence on Thursday wrapped up the arguments, claiming the evidence against Kasab was weak. The defence has argued that Kasab was not part of the 26/11 terrorist conspiracy. The prosecution led by special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam will reply to the defence claims and subsequently the court will hear the arguments on the death sentence.
