26/11 witness goes missing

Mumbai, January 13
One of the witnesses in the Mumbai terror attacks case, who saw the terrorists land on the city's shores, has gone missing, the police said today.

Anita Uddaiya, who saw the 10 terrorists arrive at the Fisherman's Colony in Cuffe Parade on November 26, has been missing since January 11.

The police said they have launched a manhunt for the missing witness, who had been taken to the JJ Hospital earlier to identify the bodies of the nine killed terrorists.

Uddaiya’s daughter lodged the missing person’s complaint after she went missing from her house in the Cuffe Parade's Fisherman's Colony.

The crime branch of the city police, which is the investigating agency in the November 26 terror attacks, has also launched a probe into the incident.

"We are also probing the disappearance of the lady since she is a witness in the case," Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria told PTI. — PTI
