New Delhi, July 09: In the Parliament attack case, the police today claimed before a city court that the evidence collected by it through intercepting messages of terrorist organisations should be taken on record to prove the case against the accused including a JeM militant. Presenting the prosecution case, special public prosecutor D P Aggarwal contended before designated Judge S N Dhingra that the messages were intercepted with proper and prior permission from the authorities and hence were valid in law.

He refuted the plea of the accused - JeM militant Shaukat Hussain Guru, his wife Navjot Sandhu and a suspended lecturer of Delhi University College S A R Geelani - that the evidence was illegal and inadmissible.

The prosecutor said the documents relating to the intercepted messages were not filed in the court as they were treated as secret. Dhingra, then, directed the police to file the documents regarding grant of permission to intercept messages and fixed July 11 for further hearing on the issue.

Meanwhile, key eye witness to the attack and then security incharge of vice-president escort vehicle ASI Jeet Ram told the court that he had seen the five slain terrorist laying the wire and detonators, perhaps to blast the car with which they forced their entry into the Parliament house.
