Legal help sought from Pakistan?

Published December 14, 2008

MUMBAI: Indian police said on Saturday that Kasab had also written to Pakistani officials to request legal help.

In a letter written on Thursday, he asks for ‘legal aid’ from the Pakistani consulate and to meet a consular representative, said Rakesh Maria, Mumbai’s chief investigator.

The letter was forwarded to India’s government to relay to Pakistani officials, but it was unclear whether it had been delivered, Maria said.

Pakistan has refused to acknowledge Kasab’s nationality, complaining that India has yet to furnish any evidence.—AP
