For the first time, Pakistani American Lashkar-e-Tayiba operative David Headley begins his deposition before a Mumbai court in connection with the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. The special court will record Headley's statement via video conferencing.

Headley had agreed to turn approver in the case on December 10, 2015 following which the court granted him conditional pardon. He was asked to depose before the court on February 8.

Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam also added that Headley's evidence is important to unfold many facts behind the 26/11 attack. "This is the first time a foreign terrorist will give evidence in an Indian court. The statements recorded will give more information on the 26/11 case," he said.
