The Mumbai
crime branch team, which is currently in New Delhi to seek the custody
of Abu Jundal, a deported Lashkar-e-Tayyeba terrorist and one of the key
accused in the 26/11 case, said there are three reasons why they need
to get Jundal’s custody.
The prima facie evidence on Jundal’s involvement in cases is registered in Mumbai, the city police need to interrogate him to ascertain his involvement in those cases and they need to determine if he is involved in other cases, a senior crime branch official on Tuesday said.
The crime branch has already obtained a production warrant to get Jundal’s custody from the Delhi police. Niket Kaushik, additional commissioner of police, crime, said: “We are likely to get his custody after the completion of his custody with the Delhi police [till July 5].”

The police want to ascertain if he is the same person whose
conversation was intercepted during the 26/11 siege. “We are checking
the voice samples with the Delhi police,” Kaushik said. His involvement
in 26/11 will be ascertained through these voice intercepts.
Kaushik said Jundal’s identification is important as several cases registered under his various aliases.
There are also some cases against Jundal in his native Beed district, and an interrogation by the Mumbai police would help those cases.
“Not only in the 26/11 case, but Jundal will be thoroughly
interrogated in all cases in which he has figured as a suspect so that
new information and disclosures can be obtained,” said another crime
branch official, on condition of anonymity as he is not authorised to
speak to the media.
