Jundal wants to confess, told to rethink

His confession will be recorded on Monday if he does not change his mind in the next two days

Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, one of the 26/11 handlers, has expressed his desire to confess his role in the terror attack. When Jundal was brought to the Esplanade court on Friday, he told the officials that he wanted to confess his role in the attack. He has made a verbal plea before additional chief metropolitan magistrate PS Rathod. However, while explaining to him the entire procedure of confession, the court as per norms gave two days’ time to Jundal to think over his decision. After that, if he still wants to go ahead with his confession, it would be recorded. His confession would be recorded on Monday provided he does not change his mind. Jundal was brought to the court amid tight security and entry for the media inside the court room was prohibited. Jundal replied in the affirmative when asked if he wanted to make his confession voluntarily. In the meantime, the court remanded him to judicial custody for 14 days. Jundal’s custody ends on August 12. His police custody has been overlapped and he has been sent to police custody. However, the court on Friday only sent him to judicial custody. He will remain in solitary confinement in Arthur Road jail to ensure that his decision is not manipulated by any one. Jundal was brough to Mumbai on July 21 after a Delhi court handed over his custody to Maharashtra ATS. He was then remanded in the custody of the Mumbai crime branch. The Mumbai police crime branch on Thursday brought 26/11 terror attacks convict Ajmal Kasab and his handler Abu Jundal face to face. They were questioned together for about one and half hours at the Arthur Road jail. However, sources from the crime branch said his confession could not be depended on completely because his co-accused Abdul Amir Kasab had also in course of his trial in the 26/11 case confessed to his crime only to retract it later.
