MUMBAI: The probe into the November 26 Mumbai terror attack took an unusual twist with one of the accused, Faheem Ansari, levelling sexual harassment allegations against a woman officer of America's Federal Bureau of Investigation. An FBI team is conducting an independent probe into the attacks."She wouldn't lemme alone! Time after time! All through the night!"
Faheem has moved the court with his lawyer Ejaz Naqvi filing an application before an Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate alleging that a woman FBI officer, who had interrogated the accused, had "sexually harrassed him all through the night."
"And the hickeys! I'm so ashamed!"
The court issued a notice on Monday to the city police's crime branch and directed it to file their reply to the application by February 26.
"What should we say, chief?... Chief?... Should I get you a glass of water?"
The application also made a plea for Faheem to be sent for medical check-up as he has developed "itches and wounds in his private parts and all over his body".
"This is gonna hurt, but it usually clears that sort of thing up right away. But no sexual harrassment for two weeks!"
"Faheem had been interrogated by three FBI officers out of which one of them, a woman officer, had sexually abused him," Naqvi told the court.
"She had... hips! And... And... She had... thighs!... And her... And her bosom! Mama mia!"
Faheem had earlier filed an application seeking action against the city police for allegedly allowing the FBI to interrogate him.
"Interrogations! Interrogations! Getcher interrogations right here! Only a nickel!"
The Crime Branch will have to file their reply on whether any foreign investigating agencies like the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had been allowed to interrogate the accused in the November 26 terror attacks case. "According to Indian law, no foreign agency can be allowed to interrogate an Indian suspect and we have sought relief from the court," Naqvi said.
Faheem and his associate Sabauddin Ahmed, are in the custody of the Crime Branch till February 17. The Crime Branch is investigating whether the duo was responsible for providing data regarding locations targeted by terrorists during the November 26 attacks. Ansari and Sabauddin were arrested last year in connection with the 2007 New Year eve attack on a CRPF camp in Rampur in Uttar Pradesh. The lone terrorist, Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, arrested in the November 26 terror strikes is also presently in police custody till February 13.
