Evidence tampered with in Parliament case: Accused

The accused in the Parliament attack case on Tuesday told a Delhi court that police had made out a case on the basis of tampered evidence.

The whole case was based on spurious recoveries, unreliable telephone records and tampered mobile phone instruments seized by the police from the accused persons and the terrorists killed in the gun battle with the security forces in Parliament House complex, Nitya Ramakrishnan, counsel for Shaukat Hussain Guru and his wife Navjot Sandhu alias Afsan Guru, told Special Judge S N Dhingra.

As there were discrepancies in the entire process of investigation, the prosecution's story could not be relied upon, the defence counsel submitted during the final arguments in the case.

She said there was nothing on record to show that Afsan Guru was involved in the conspiracy and the only fact that emerged was that she used to be in the house where the co-accused held meetings.

Besides Shaukat and his wife, JeM's pointman in Delhi Mohammed Afzal and S A R Geelani, suspended lecturer of a Delhi University college, are facing trial in the case.
