Three journalists of a private news channel on Thursday identified their voices in the conversation recorded between them and the terrorists that had attacked Mumbai on November 26 last year.
The CDs containing the telephonic talks between the journalists and two terrorists Shahdulla and Imran Babbar from Oberoi Hotel and Nariman House respectively, were played before the special court at the Arthur Road Jail.
The terrorists had called up the channel and asked them to air the conversation they were having live so that their demands were revealed to everyone watching the news.
The terrorists, while in conversation with the anchor Archana Singh of the news channel, said they wanted all the Mujahideens arrested in India to be released. They also said that they wanted that the minority community should be treated with respect.
The terrorists, however, had claimed that they were from Deccan Hyderabad in India and were fighting for the cause of the minority community throughout the nation.
Lone surviving Pakistan gunman Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab and two Indians, Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed, are facing trial in a special court on the charge of killing 166 persons in the terror attacks that rocked the city.
Kasab and nine other slain terrorists had come to India from Pakistan via the sea route and attacked Taj and Oberoi hotels, Nariman House and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) and planted bombs in two taxis.
