Unseen details of 26/11 attacks revealed on KBC
The sets of the popular quiz reality show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' witnessed a stunning moment when legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan hosted prominent public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. The special episode, featuring actors Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi to promote their upcoming film 'Prahar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam', brought forth several spine-chilling and unheard stories related to the dark days of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
As the conversation progressed, Amitabh Bachchan engaged Ujjwal Nikam in a deep discussion about the legal battles fought against terrorism and questioned why it took four long years to secure capital punishment for terrorist Ajmal Kasab.
Kasab's bizarre claim and Big B's fiery response
Recalling the early days of the court trial, Ujjwal Nikam shared how Kasab tried to mislead investigators by making absurd statements. Nikam disclosed that Kasab not only lied about his capture location and age to prove himself a minor, but he also made a startling remark during interrogation.
Kasab reportedly claimed that he had come to Mumbai specifically to catch a glimpse of and meet Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Hearing this unbelievable statement, Big B was taken aback and promptly responded that had the terrorist dared to enter his home, he would never have left alive and would have been shot right there.
Ujjwal Nikam explains the judicial delay
Expressing his frustration over the lengthy trial, Amitabh Bachchan asked why dangerous criminals are given so much time under the judicial system. In response, Ujjwal Nikam explained the core principles of Indian law, which presumes every accused to be innocent until proven guilty and guarantees them the right to a fair defense.
Nikam emphasized that despite overwhelming evidence, the rule of law must be followed meticulously to maintain the sanctity of democratic institutions and judicial fairness.
