One of the handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal’s internet protocol (IP) addresses will be access by the Police officials to ascertain the fact that he communicated with his fellow terrorists through email when he was on the run and was in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia," said a police officer, reports Times of India on August 2. The crime branch of the police has applied for a letter Rogatory (LR) to be issued to a US court so that it may seek information from Google and Yahoo! about the online activities of 26/11 accused Zabiuddin Ansari, alias Abu Jundal. One of the officers interrogating Jundal said the police want information about nine email accounts and one Face book profile used by the terrorist. Jundal has told the police he used these to be in touch with his LeT handlers and mentors (Faiyaz Kagzi, Aslam Kashmiri, Abu Junaid and Shaukat). Meanwhile, Abu Jundal revealed that one of the key participants in the preparation of the 26/11 terror strike, another top Lashkar e Toiba (LeT) commander, Abu al Kafa, had apprised Headley of the five targets in Mumbai. Abu al Kafa had briefed US national David Coleman Headley about the sites in Mumbai to be recced for the attack. Kafa’s name first surfaced during the interrogation of captured 26/11 attacker Ajmal Amir Kasab, who had reportedly revealed that Kafa, an expert in handling arms and explosives, had trained them and was one of the LeT commanders who came to see them off at Karachi harbour. The crime branch suspects that if Jundal’s claims are true, It is not possible for Kafa, a LeT commander largely confined to the terror camps, to know the location and topography of the targets, especially a place like Chabad House which was not even known to the locals in Colaba before it came under attack. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.

The 'Country Report on Terrorism 2011', released by the United States (US) State Department this week states that the Pakistani Government is providing complete back up to the terrorist organisation functioning in areas of Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), as reported on August 3, by Daily Excelsior. Besides, they have also been continuously trying to push terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC) and this remained an area of serious concern for the Government of India. Several terrorist organisations like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) have also been collecting funds in the form of donations from wealthy persons including Kashmiri business persons and several Pakistan expatriate communities in the Middle East and Europe, particularly the United Kingdom, Islamic non-governmental organizations and Pakistani business families. Secretary of State of the Department had also designated certain organisations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) in accordance with Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Those designated as FTO included Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami (HuJI), Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and LeT, which are also conducting terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir State. Elaborating further on the FTOs, the Report stated that HuM had several hundred of armed supporters located in PoK and some militancy infested areas of Jammu and Kashmir. "The organisation is based in Muzaffarabad (PoK), Rawalpindi (Pakistan), and several other cities in Pakistan and the terrorist outfit conduct insurgent and terrorist operations primarily in Kashmir and Afghanistan. Further, the outfit trained its militants in Pakistan, Afghanistan and collected donations from wealthy and grassroot donors in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf States. HuM's financial collection methods include soliciting donations in magazine ads and pamphlets", the Report stated. Another FTO is LeT, which is one of the largest and most 'proficient' of the traditionally Kashmir focused militant groups that has the ability to severely disrupt already delicate regional relations. "The outfit has LeT has conducted a number of operations against Indian troops and civilian targets in Jammu and Kashmir. The actual size of LeT is unknown, but it has several thousand members in PoK and Punjab Province of Pakistan, besides southern Kashmir, and Doda regions. LeT has global connections and a strong operational network throughout South Asia. The outfit maintained a number of facilities, including training camps in Pakistan and collected donations from Pakistani expatriate communities in the Middle East and Europe, particularly the United Kingdom; Islamic non-governmental organizations; and Pakistani and Kashmiri business people. Another terrorist outfit that has been active in Kashmir is JeM, which had several hundred armed supporters including a large cadre of former HuM members - located in Pakistan, Kashmir and Doda regions. "In 2011, JeM restarted its fundraising and recruitment activities in Pakistan. In anticipation of asset seizures by the Pakistani Government, JeM withdrew funds from bank accounts and invested in legal businesses, such as commodity trading, real estate, and production of consumer goods. In addition, JeM collected funds through donation requests in magazines and pamphlets, sometimes using charitable causes to solicit donations", the Report states. The Report stated that another FTO - HuJI has an estimated strength of several hundred members and its operations extend throughout South Asia, with its terrorist operations focused primarily in India and Afghanistan. The outfit had experienced a number of internal splits and a portion of the group has aligned with al-Qaeda in recent years, including training its members in al Qaeda training camps.

One of the handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal said to Crime Branch of the Police that the arrest of 10 LeT members by Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) immediately after 26/11 was eyewash, reports Times of India on August 4. According to Jundal, after intense international pressure, particularly American, mounted on Pakistan Government, Pakistani Army officers told LeT operatives to clear out of training camps since raids were likely to begin. "On the Army's directions, training camps of the Bait-ul-Mujahideen (BuM) in Muridke and Rawalpindi were cleared. The FIA, then, arrested the 10 LeT men, including Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Abu al-Qama and Zarrar Shah. Instead of jail, they were kept in luxurious guesthouses with all amenities," Jundal told the Police. "All 10 were released soon, told to remain underground and not speak to the media." He further said. According to Jundal, in the first week of December 2008, Pakistani Army officers contacted LeT second-in-command Yusuf Muzammil, who in turn told the outfit's members to wind up the camps. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.

One of the handlers of the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) Mumbai attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal named Indian operatives of LeT who have been in Pakistan for long, reports The Times of India on August 4. The four are — Abu Sherjil and Abu Jarar from Beed, Abu Musab from Jammu, who, along with Jundal, is an accused in the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case. The fourth person is Abu Jaid alias Lal Baba, who has been booked in the plot to blow up the Nasik Police Academy. He further said that two of them are from Beed in Maharashtra where Jundal hails from; the third is from Jammu, while the native place of the fourth operative is not yet known. The crime branch of Mumbai Police has already scoped the areas where the operatives from Beed resided. Although, Jundal said that the four were not part of the 26/11 terror attack, Police are verifying his claim. Jundal has also given a detailed description of LeT’s organisational structure and its hierarchy in Pakistan, along with details of the terror outfit’s commanders, and the area of their operations. He has named several foot-soldiers who are Pakistani nationals. Further, Abu Jundal, told the Police that the Pune German Bakery blast conspiracy was planned in 2008 but it could not be executed as the LeT bosses wanted a Mumbai operation first. "I met my mentor Fayyaz Kagzi and German Bakery blast arrested accused Himayat Mirza Baig in Colombo, Sri Lanka in March 2008. We decided to carry out a strike in Pune in 2008," Jundal told Police. "We paid Baig INR 12.5 lakh to carry out the Pune operation. The LeT bosses had discussed it and agreed that even if fewer people are killed at the bakery, the attack will have impact on the security establishment," said Jundal. He said in August 2008, the LeT decided to postpone the Pune attack. "They decided to first carry out the 26/11 attacks and then consider the Pune attack," revealed Jundal. The blasts happened at German Bakery on February 13, 2010 and killed 17. Meanwhile, Abu Jundal told the crime branch of Mumbai Police that the brothers Riyaz Bhatkal and Iqbal Bhatkal are hiding in Pakistan, but he doesn't know much about them. The Bhatkal brothers are involved in several serial blasts across the country and had fled to Pakistan in 2009.

The Mumbai Crime Branch has sought Maharashtra Home Department permission for custodial interrogation of lone arrested 26/11 terror accused Pakistani national Ajmal Kasab, reports The Times of India on August 7. Earlier, the Crime Branch wrote to the Home Department seeking his custody as they are likely to get one of the handlers of the November 26, 2008 Mumbai attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal face-to-face with Kasab next week. Sources said they will seek permission from the special court so that they can take either Kasab to the Police headquarters, where Jundal is, or take Jundal to the high security cell at Arthur Road jail, where Kasab is. The Police said that there were contradictions in the versions regarding the six unknown handlers and Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) officials' involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. While Kasab had told Police that Jundal had given him arms and ammunition training, Jundal said he did not participate in that but only gave Hindi and Marathi lessons to Kasab and nine others. Kasab had named Jundal among the 13 Pakistani handlers who had gone to see them off to Al Hussain, the Pakistani ship in which they sailed from Karachi, and which later captured Indian fishing trawler M V Kuber. But Jundal, during interrogation, said he did not see off Kasab.

He was responding to a question on the recent alleged disclosure that the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) had reactivated its maritime wing. About November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai-type terror strikes, Admiral Verma said: “There will always remain uncertainties and adversaries but we intend to ensure that the levels of asymmetry are never such that they encourage adventurism.” “Our strategy intends to ensure that there is no schism between the challenges we face and our capabilities to respond to them,” he added.

terrorists have issued fresh threats to journalists and media houses in Kashmir warning them against projecting "the struggle of Kashmiris in a negative way", The Times of India reported on August 7. A local news agency reported that newspaper offices in Srinagar received a hand-written letter on August 1 that accused "some media men" of "working on the payrolls of the state and Indian government machinery" and warned "of strict action for anti-freedom movement journalism". One Abu Irfan has issued the letter. "We warn journalists to mend their ways or face dire consequences," it said. The letter warned editors against ignoring the warning and asked them to publish it in their newspapers. Earlier, KNS reported that members of eight little-known terrorist groups met under the ‘chairmanship’ of Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT’s) Abdullah Ghaznavi and warned journalists "to remain away from security agencies and police officers". Journalists were warned against "strengthening the occupation and instead highlight the pain and suffering of Kashmiris due to oppressive state-sponsored policies" at the meeting, it reported. In March 2012, seven militants groups had warned Kashmir-based journalists and owners of local newspapers against "interest-based biased reporting". But the groups had withdrawn the threat after separatist leaders like All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani protested.

One of the prime handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal has told the investigator 26/11 was allegedly a part of LeT plan to adopt a ‘more aggressive’ anti-India approach, reports Hindustan Times on August 8. He told 26/11 was planned in January 2008 during a meeting of all top LeT ‘commanders’ in Muridke in Pakistan. It decided that a fidayeen (suicide) attack would be carried out in Mumbai, instead of using the old approach of planting bomb, said one of the investigating officials. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.

One of the prime handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal told the Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) that two senior Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) officers are exclusively in charge of the Indian operatives of the LeT, reports Rediff.Com on August 8. He further, told that right from the recruitment to the operations stage there are always two high-ranking officers in charge of the Indian operatives. As Jundal rose in the ranks of the LeT as a powerful Indian operative, he had to report to two persons in the ISI -- Colonel Mohammad and Lt Colonel Asad. However, investigators suspects these are fake names, since even the ISI would not give out their original names while dealing with operatives from India. Jundal said that even at the time of the 26/11 operation, Jundal being an Indian operative had to report to his ISI handler who passed on the information to his superiors. However, Jundal says that his handlers were not part of the control room and it was another set of ISI officers who handled the entire team.

Abu Jundal told to Mumbai Police’s crime branch that he was not the first choice to help coordinate the attacks, reports Hindustan Times on August 9. According to Jundal, LeT operative Zulfikar Fayyaz Kagzi was the first choice. However, Kagzi developed differences with LeT leaders over the 26/11 plot and was thus kept out of it. It was only then that Jundal was incorporated in the LeT core team, in August 2008. Jundal was brought because he was among the most aggressive Indians in the LeT, said unknown crime branch sources. The crime branch is questioning Jundal to find out if Kagzi was the Marathi man who was trained along with lone arrested 26/11 terror accused Pakistani national Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone Pakistani terrorist arrested for the attack. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.

Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal on August 9, has shown his willingness to confess his role in 26/11 Mumbai attacks before the magistrate court under section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code, reports Hindustan Times. He is also willing to confess his involvement with the LeT network. Jundal was brought to court at 4:30pm amid tight security and was produced before the additional chief metropolitan magistrate. He then told the court that he wanted to confess. Soon the court was vacated and all the other litigants were asked to leave. During the in-camera proceedings, the court explained to him the procedure of recording the confession and also informed him that his confessional statement could be used against him; Jundal replied in the affirmative when he was asked if his decision to give the confession was voluntary. Further, the magistrate informed Jundal that he would be given time till August 13 to rethink his decision and the statement would be recorded only if he still wanted to make the confession. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.

The forensic experts’ report on August 1 Pune bomb blast reveals the use of a cohesive mixture of ammonium nitrate and furnace oil as well as use of several, reports DNA India on August 9. Moreover, the bomb assemblers had used ball bearings to act as splinters in a bid to intensify the damage caused due to the explosion. Investigators are now seeing many similarities in the German Bakery bombing of 2010 and the Pune bomb blasts, and are focusing on whether the latest incident too was a joint venture of Indian Mujahideen (IM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) just like the German Bakery bombing.

One of the prime handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal has told Mumbai Police that terror group LeT is planning to carry out aerial attacks on Indian cities and has trained 150 paragliders for this, reports NDTV on August 11. He also said that he got to know of the LeT's plans when he visited what he calls the "Jumbo Jet Room" in 2010. According to him, the "Jumbo Jet Room" is actually a huge bungalow in eastern Karachi (Pakistan) where top Lashkar commanders plan aerial and sea route attacks on India. These attacks, claims Jundal, are supervised by a man called Yakub who is also in charge of LeT's accounts. Abu Jundal has also told the Mumbai Police about two more premises - the Karachi House and the Kashmir House. According to him, while the Karachi House in Muzaffrabad (Pakistan) is primarily the place where LeT plans all its operations on Indian cities, the Kashmir House is dedicated only for planning attacks on Kashmir. All 26/11 terrorists, including Ajmal Aamir Kasab, were trained at the Karachi House, Jundal has revealed.

A special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court on August 17 framed charges against 21 persons in the 2006 Aurangabad (Maharashtra) arms haul case, reports The Hindustan Times. All the accused pleaded not guilty before the MCOCA court. The court charged the accused under the provisions of MCOCA and Arms Act, in addition to provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The court rejected the prosecution's plea to defer framing of charges till the Maharashtra Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) filed a charge sheet against one of the prime handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal alias Zabiuddin Ansari. The trial in the arms haul case was stayed by the apex court after one of the accused challenged the constitutional validity of certain provisions of the MCOCA. The apex court had, in May 2009, lifted the stay and the trial was to commence in June 2010. As per the prosecution's case, in May 2006, the ATS booked 21 persons for carrying a large amount of explosives and arms. The ATS claimed to have seized 43 kg of RDX, 50 hand grenades, 16 AK-47 rifles and over 3,000 live bullets from Chandaud in Aurangabad.

Army warns of potential recruitment of jihadis in India as they got information about Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and its political front, Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD), holding a meeting in Karachi (Pakistan) on July 2 on the attack on Rohingiya Muslims in Myanmar, a senior Army officer told on August 19, reports The Times of India. According to officer, the Kokrajhar (Assam) riots on July 21 gave the fundamentalists an opportunity to club the two issues and besides creating confusion, the fundamentalists also hoped to recruit potential jihadis in India by fanning passions. The Kokrajhar riots had no connection with happenings in Myanmar but it was possible to club the two issues in distant places like Mumbai (Maharashtra). The official advised that the Government should not be in a hurry to send back displaced persons in Kokrajhar living in refugee camps to their villages as this could heighten tension. Authorities in Bhutan have asked minority community workers engaged in hydel and other construction projects in Bhutan not to travel to Bhutan through Assam and instead take the route through Phuentsholling bordering West Bengal.

India will press for the extradition or deportation of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant Zulfiqar Fayyaz Kagzi, reports The Hindustan Times on August 21. Blood samples for conducting DNA test to ascertain Kagzi’s identity have already been sent to Saudi Arabian authorities, said Police sources. Kagzi is among the top Indian wanted terrorists, and whose presence in Saudi Arabia has been confirmed by Abu Jundal (The prime handler of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai, Maharashtra terrorist attacks), is crucial for counterterrorist agencies for his key role in at least four terror acts in India. His custody is important also because investigators believe that Kagzi played a crucial role in recruiting youth into the LeT ranks and training them, though he defected from the LeT around 2007-2008 after he contested LeT’s plan to conduct the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack.

Based on intelligence inputs, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has asked banks to scrub the system to spot the transfer of funds to an account in Lahore (Pakistan), in what is seen as a significant move to spot beneficiaries and supporters of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed in India, as reported on August 24, by The Times of India. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) is said to have stumbled upon "huge funds being transferred to Jamaat-Ud-Dawa [JuD] account in the name of Al-Rashid Trust and the money is coming from Arab countries". IB believes some of the terror funding to Saeed might have been routed through Indian banks and has sought RBI's assistance. Earlier, on August 21, the RBI sent an alert to banks across the country giving details of Saeed's bank account in Pakistan and has asked them to keep a tab on every transaction in the name of "Lashkar" or "Al-Rashid" or even if the name is being used in any remittance. "We are in receipt of a communication from IB... The funds collected from LeT are being deposited in the Account Number — 2011816001 — in Faisal Islamic Bank of Bahrain (Lahore, Pakistan)," RBI said in its letter to banks. When asked about the use of word "huge funds", an official said, "organizations linked to Saeed receive large funding from Arab countries." Moreover, an Islamic charity, also named Al-Rashid Trust was linked to Osama bin Laden and post-9/11 attacks was among the 27 groups listed by the US for alleged involvement in financing and supporting terrorist groups.

The intelligence agencies have cautioned the Jammu and Kashmir Police to keep a close watch on the activities of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) who are trying to rope in surrendered militants back into their fold, according to Deccan Chronicle. In a recent advisory sent to the State Police and other security agencies active in the Valley it has been disclosed that both HM and the LeT are feeling extremely frustrated in wake of the acute manpower crunch they are facing. Also, following intensified patrolling along the International Border and the Line of Control (LoC) as many as 800 militants are stuck at the launching pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) waiting to cross over. Therefore, these terror groups have now turned their attention to the former cadres who had surrendered before the security agencies. Sources said the terrorist organisations are trying both threat and the lure of money to bring back the surrendered terrorists into active militancy once again. “They are threatening these surrendered militants and their family members to pressurise these militants. We have asked the state government to look into this matter and take immediate measures. If need be these surrendered militants and their families should be provided adequate security cover as well,” an unnamed senior official of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs said. The terror outfits are also giving financial incentive to the surrendered militants offering them huge sum of money. There are concrete reports, sources added, that for this purpose these militant organisations are getting money through the hawala channels. Intelligence agencies are keeping track on suspicious money transactions, particularly from abroad, in the Valley. Intelligence agencies have also cautioned in their advisory that by September the militant organisations will start exerting more pressure on their ex-cadres as the season will start changing and some of the upper reaches will start getting snowfall by end of the month.

Militants who stopped the work at the Wullar Conservation Project (Wullar barrage) construction site in the Sopore area of Baramulla District in the night of August 27 are said to have been sent specially for this particular mission as Pakistan feels the project is against its interests and in violation of Indus Water Treaty of 1960 between the two countries, highly placed sources said on August 29, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said that eight among the 16 militants who stopped work of the Project at Ningli were Pakistani nationals. Sources further revealed that these foreign nationals might have been Pakistani Army commandos sent specially for safeguarding the interests of Pakistan in Wullar Lake. The sources said that security agencies are looking for the route which these eight specially trained militants or Pakistan Army commandos have adopted for entering into Kashmir for Mission Wullar. They further felt that these Pakistani nationals must have fled Kashmir valley after carrying out their mission. The security agencies, meanwhile, ruled out the possibility of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) top ‘commander’, Fahadullah, operating in Sopore area being the part of the mission. They, however, said that eight among the militants who were locals might not be under the radar of the security agencies in Sopore area. Meanwhile, the work on the project remained suspended for second consecutive day on August 29 despite Government's assurance for the security to the project workers and contractors

The arrests of five people on August 29, with links to LeT and HuJI, indicate the terror menace in Hubli city in Dharwad District of Karnataka. According to sources, Hubli is a safe hideout for these elements because it's a central point for three states - Maharashtra and Goa on the west, Andhra Pradesh in the east - and hence it is easier to get in and out of the city. Another factor that has worked well with terrorists is the large forest cover that surrounds Hubli.

India on August 30 welcomed the United States (US) action slapping sanctions on Lashkar-e-Toiba's (LeT) top eight ‘commanders’, including November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai terror attacks mastermind Sajid Mir, reports The Times of India. "We obviously welcome the steps taken to improve international cooperation in the fight against terrorism and the steps taken by the United States has certainly been in that direction," Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai told reporters. Earlier, announcing the sanctions, the US said LeT, despite being designated as a foreign terrorist organisation in January 2002, continues to "operate in Pakistan" and throughout the region and engage in terrorist activities worldwide. "LeT has conducted numerous terrorist acts against Pakistani, Indian, Afghan and US interests and is responsible for the November 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed more than 160 people, including six Americans, and the 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings that killed more than 180 people," the Department of Treasury said. Besides Mir, other LeT leaders slapped with sanctions are Abdullah Mujahid, Ahmed Yaqub, Hafiz Khalid Walid, Qari Muhammad Yaqoob Sheikh, Amir Hamza, Abdullah Muntazir, and Talha Saeed.

One of the handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal’s details of the Karachi control room from where he and his handlers monitored the November 26, 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai can be used as crucial evidence against Ajmal Kasab and the Pakistan plotters of the 26//1 attacks, asserts Top Police officials, reports Times of India. Jundal's interrogation has also shed light on the role of 'state actors' like ISI operative Major Sameer Ali, who was fully aware of the attack in advance. The Mumbai crime branch will produce Jundal before the 37th Esplanade court on July 31 as his custody is getting over. Sources said the crime branch will seek an extension of Jundal's custody as it has yet to extract more information about the 26/11 attack from him.
