The photographer, by name Sebastian D’Souza identified Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab as one of the men who fired on commuters at Mumbai’s crowded train station. This was a carnage in which at least 57 people died. Mr Qasab has pleaded not guilty to waging war against India, murder and possessing explosives. He appeared to break down and weep during proceedings.

More than 170 people died in various attacks across Mumbai on 26 November, including nine gunmen. When asked to identify the defendant, Mr D’Souza said: “How can I forget him? He has made me famous.

“Both of them had guns and walked as if no one can touch him,” he said of Mr Qasab and his alleged accomplice.
