Senior lawyer Ujjwal Nikam who served as the special prosecutor in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case, has confirmed that the 10 terrorists who had attacked the city were carrying fake ID cards with Hindu names, Hindustan Times has reported.
“After the 26/11 terror attacks, 10 ID cards were produced in the court in which one was of Kasab and others belonged to nine other attackers who were killed...these were fake ID cards. It is true that Hindu name was written on those ID cards”, Nikam was quoted as saying.
He added that Kasab had made a statement in the court revealing that his terror trainer had informed that they would be given fake IDs to misguide the police.
This statement comes after former Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria revealed that it was planned for Kasab to die as a Hindu man named Samir Chaudhari to project the dastardly 26/11 attacks as a case of Hindu Terror.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
