Special public prosecutor Ujwal Nikam filed the chargesheet before the metropolitan magistrate M J Mirza.
Nikam told reporters, “We want the trial to end in six months. We will give the copy of chargesheet to Kasab.”
There are 35 names in all figuring in the chargesheet, according to TV reports. Nikam refused to reveal how many of them are Pakistanis.
