26/11 Case: Key Witness ‘Missing’

Nurudin Shaikh, a key witness in the 26/11 attacks went missing on Fridays a day after he deposed against accused Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed.

Scheduled to appear for cross-examination at 1100 hours this morning, the prosecution said the witness had gone missing after Shaikh failed to turn up at the court.

Shaikh, on Thursday told the court that the accused — Faheem and Sabauddin — had met him in Nepal and in his presence they discussed about the maps of some locations in Mumbai, which were later targeted by militants during the macabre terror strikes that left over 170 dead.
