David Headley's deposition, a first in judicial history

February 8, 2016

Mumbai, Feb 8: When Pakistani-American and Lashkar-e-Taiba agent David Coleman Headley deposes before a Mumbai court on Monday through video-conferencing in connection with the 26/11 terror attacks of Mumbai, it would be the first time in the judicial history of India that a man would give evidence on an act of terror from foreign soil.

David“This is very important in the judicial history of India,” special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said on the eve of deposition of Headley as an approver before Additional Sessions Judge G A Sanap, who presides over special cases related to terrorism including those charged under now repealed TADA. He was charged with 11 offences - but on December 10, he agreed to reveal details of the 26/11 terror attacks and he became a witness.

“Firstly, David Headley may give the broader aspect of the criminal conspiracy. Secondly, another important aspect of the evidence of David Headley would be that why the conspiracy was hatched, who were the persons behind the criminal conspiracy and how it progressed, he may also throw some light on the wanted accused in the case,” said Nikam.

It is to be seen what the 55-year-old Headley testifies about Jamaat-ud-Dawa founder Hafeez Saeed and Lashker-e-Taiba’s chief of operations Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the two chief conspirators of the 26/11 terror attacks and other wanted people like Major General Saab, Abu Hamja and Abu Kaafa.

New Delhi, May 30: An Air India flight from Delhi to Moscow on Saturday had to return midway after the airline's ground team found out that one of the pilots had tested positive for novel coronavirus, officials said.

"When the A320 plane, which did not have any passengers as it was heading to Moscow to bring back stranded Indians under Vande Bharat Mission, had reached Uzbekistan's airspace, our team on ground realised that one of the pilots had tested COVID-positive," senior Air India officials said.

"The flight was immediately asked to return. It came back to Delhi at around 12.30 pm on Saturday," the officials said. The crew has been quarantined. Another plane would be sent to Moscow to bring back the stranded Indians, according to the officials.
