The Mumbai Police will approach a special court to seek permission for burial of the nine Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist killed in the 26/11 terror attacks here.
The police have preserved the bodies of terrorists for over three months, after they were killed in a 60-hour long encounter that ended on November 29, in the mortuary of the state-run JJ Hospital in south Mumbai.

"The bodies had to be kept preserved till now as we were waiting for someone to claim them. However, since there are no claimants, we would approach the special court once the trial in the case begins and seek permission to dispose it off," Mumbai police commissioner Hasan Gafoor said.
