Mumbai court pardons David Headley, makes him approver in 26/11 case

26/11 Mumbai terror attack accused David Coleman Headley, who is serving a jail sentence in the US,  was today made approver by a Mumbai court which granted him pardon in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case, a development that may help unravel the conspiracy hatched in Pakistan.

He would depose as a prosecution witness on February 8, 2016.

Headley appeared before the sessions court here through a video link from an undisclosed location in the US. Ujjwal Nikam, the special public prosecutor, told the judge G A Sanap that Headley was ready to turn “approver” if given pardon.
