New Delhi: The Parliament attack case accused on November 12 contended before a Delhi court that police had made out a case against them on the basis of tampered and unreliable evidence even as prosecution charged them with entering into conspiracy with Pakistani militants to destabilise the country.

The whole case has been 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 the Parliament House complex, Nitya Ramakrishnan, counsel for Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militant Shaukat Hussain Guru and his wife Navjot Sandhu alias Afsan Guru, told Special Judge S N Dhingra.

She said the statements of the investigating officers during the recording of evidence in the case reflected several discrepancies about the recovery of mobile phones and probe done to link the accused persons in the case.

As there has been discrepancies in the entire process of investigation and when the whole case was linked with the telephone numbers recovered from the slain terrorists, the prosecution story could not be relied upon, the defence counsel submitted during the final arguments in the case.

She contended that there was nothing on record to show that Afsan Guru was involved in the conspiracy and the only fact, which emerged in the whole story was she used to be in the house where the co-accused persons were holding meetings.

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