Mumbai: The Federal Bureau of Investigation probe into the Mumbai terror attacks took an unusual twist with Faheem Ansari, one of the accused, levelling sexual harassment allegations against a lady officer of the American agency who had reportedly interrogated him here.
Faheem has moved the court, with his lawyer Ejaz Naqvi filing an application before an Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate alleging that a lady FBI officer, who had interrogated the accused, had “sexually harassed him all through the night.”
“Faheem had been interrogated by three FBI officers out of which one of them, a lady officer, had sexually abused him,” Mr. Naqvi told the court.
Faheem had earlier filed an application seeking action against the city police for allegedly allowing the FBI to interrogate him.
Fahim Ansari claimed the female FBI agent stripped him naked, abused him all the night. He also says the woman left wounds and bite marks.
The suspect was also forced to watch hardcore porn films during the "harassment night'.
Fahim Ansari's lawyer, Ejaz Naqvi, has filed papers alleging the woman "sexually harassed him".
The Indian court asked medical checks on "wounds on his private parts and all over his body" and directed it to file a reply to the application by February 26.
The Crime Branch will have to file their reply on whether any foreign investigating agencies like the FBI had been allowed to interrogate the accused in the terror attacks case. “
Ansari is a member of the Lashkar-e-Taiba group. India claims the group is behind the Mumbai attacks. Ansari was arrested with five other suspects in 2008.
