"Kasab never demanded Biryani and was never served by the government. I concocted it just to break an emotional atmosphere which was taking shape in favour of Kasab during the trial of the case," Nikam told reporters on the sidelines of international conference on counter-terrorism here.

"Media was minutely observing his body language and hewas well aware of it. One day, in the court room, he bowed his head and wiped his eyes.
