"We have produced in the court photographs, CCTV footages and eye-witness accounts to prove that he (Kasab) had participated in the terror attack," Nikam told reporters outside the court here.

"Hum jaldi se jald Kasab ka hisaab karenge (We will decide the Kasab case as quickly as possible)," Nikam said.

It is not for the first time that Kasab has taken a U-turn.

Earlier, he had confessed before the Magistrate his role in the 26/11 attacks. Later, he took a U-turn by only partially accepting his guilt and minimising his role in the terror strike.

Today, he took another U-turn by totally denying his role in the attacks.

"Kasab has been trained by the LeT not only in military tactics, but also in how to mislead the court," Nikam said.
