David Headley’s deposition adjourned till tomorrow due to technical snag

Deposing in connection with 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case, Headley told court that ISI funds LeT & JeM.

The deposition of American-Pakistani terrorist David Coleman Headley was adjourned till Thursday due to a technical snag in the video conference.

Headley was to depose for the third consecutive day before a court here in connection with 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case. He is being examined as an approver in the case.

"Today Headley was supposed to give evidence through video link. But unfortunately, on account of technical problems from American side, they could not contact us and now it has been informed to us that the matter will be adjourned till tomorrow," Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said.

"It was also agreed by American side that they are ready to sit for more than one-and a half hour and it appears that till tomorrow the technical problem should be resolved," he added.

Nikam confirmed that there was no technical problem from the Indian side."In spite of the efforts of the American experts, they could not contact us through video link and therefore, the hearing of Headley is adjourned till tomorrow," he said.

Nikam added that the hearing tomorrow would take place from 7 am to 1:30 pm.

"We have to take into consideration the time schedule of America. We hope and anticipate the American side would be successful in repairing the technical problem and we will be in a position to pursue our case from tomorrow onwards," he said.

Deposing from an undisclosed location on Tuesday, Headley told the special judge G A Sanap that he was working for Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, which he said gave financial, military and moral support to LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Hizbul Mujahideen.
