CCTV footage “I will also not attach much importance to the CCTV footage of which CD was produced in the court because visuals are of very, very poor quality,” he observed.

Evidence given by Constable Arun Jadhav

(Jadav was in the same vehicle as slain senior police officers Vijay Salaskar, Hemant Karkare and Ashok Kamte)

“I think Arun Jadhav wanted to sensationalise his evidence in presence of media persons. I do not think that the evidence given by him that accused Kasab had opened burst firing in Qualis vehicle is true and correct. It is obvious exaggeration and cannot be believed. Rest of the evidence is believable.”

Negotiations at Chabad House

The court found that an Israeli diplomat named Levy had tried to negotiate with the terrorists at Chabad House with help of a translator.

He was trying to get the Israeli hostages released. But Levy was not been produced before the court.
