Centre Assigns Special Public Prosecutor in 26/11 Mumbai Attack Case

The Central Government has appointed a special public prosecutor to handle the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case. This decision aims to speed up the legal process and ensure justice for the victims and their families.

The 26/11 Mumbai attacks took place in November 2008, when ten terrorists from Pakistan entered Mumbai by sea and launched violent attacks at multiple locations. They targeted the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Oberoi Trident Hotel, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, and other public spots. The attacks killed 166 people and injured over 300 others. The incident shocked the entire nation and drew global attention.

By appointing a special public prosecutor, the government has shown its commitment to holding the attackers and their supporters accountable. The special prosecutor will now represent the government in court and present strong evidence to support the case. This step will help move the legal process forward and keep the focus on justice.

The new prosecutor will work closely with investigation teams, gather documents, examine witnesses, and prepare arguments. He or she will also attend hearings and respond to the defense side in court. The goal is to bring all the accused to justice and ensure a fair trial.

The Indian government has consistently demanded action against those responsible for the attacks. Many of the accused are believed to be hiding in Pakistan. India has sent evidence and requested Pakistan to take strong legal action, but progress has remained slow.

Officials hope that this new appointment will strengthen India’s position in court and put more pressure on those who have delayed the trial for years. The government also wants to send a clear message that such acts of terrorism will not go unpunished.

The families of the victims have waited for justice for more than 15 years. The Centre’s decision brings new hope that the case will finally see results. The special public prosecutor’s role is now crucial in making sure the case reaches its conclusion.
