The Pakistani commission of defense lawyers, prosecutors and a court official has arrived in India on a four day tour to gather evidence for the prosecution of suspects linked to the 2008 Mumbai attacks, reported Express News on Friday.

The commission will meet police officials who were involved in the investigation in Mumbai and doctors who conducted the autopsies of the terrorists and victims.

The commission is visiting India in pursuance of an order of the Rawalpindi Anti-Terrorism Court to record the statements of four key witnesses. However, India has not granted permission to cross-examine the witnesses.

Earlier, officials also revealed that the commission would not be allowed to quiz Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving gunman who has been awarded death sentence by an Indian court – for the massacre of 166 people.
