A special POTA court on Friday recorded the statements of three witnesses who were examined by key accused and bomb planter Muzammil Ansari, convicted for multiple blasts in the city during 2002 and 2003.

The court had allowed Ansari's plea to examine Afroz Khan, an accused in another terror case, Uday Pathak, a murder accused, and his brother Imtiyaz Rahim. The court, which convicted 10 out of 13 accused on March 29 in the blasts case, is hearing arguments on quantum of sentence.
