The lawyer for Indian co-accused Fahim Ansari is still to be decided by the court.


In total, 135 articles have been seized from the Kuber dinghy alone that includes satellite phones and diaries. The DNA profile and fingerprints found on articles seized on Kuber matched with those of the deceased and Qasab.
