23. Complete and date-wise CCTV footage of all the incidents.

24. GPS data regarding travelling log, location to check log and coordinates, etc. for identifying the launching area. This is important because certain ambiguities have been noticed in the information already provided. For instance, if the terrorists started in a small boat from Karachi at approximately 0800 hours on 22nd Nov, then how come MOB waypoint is showing the boat’s position near Keti Bandar nearly one hour before this time? Out of 17 waypoints, only three have date stamps and remaining is without the same, creating doubt whether these points are authentic or created through GPS.

25. GPS operation is dependent on internal or external batteries, thus following points need elaboration:

a. If internal batteries were used, a large cache of batteries were required to keep them operative for more than six days.

b. If external batteries were used on boat then picture/evidence of the same should have been included in the list of items recovered from “Kuber”.

c. Picture labelled “Thuraya satellite phone found in Kuber” is of GPS of Garmin Company as GPS navigation buttons, waypoint names on screen and company name are clearly visible.

27. Relevant information pertaining to tailor/company marks, brand names as well as dry cleaning or laundry stamps on clothes seized.

28. Google earth does not carry details of security systems, various entries/ exit points, inner details. Such like information requires extensive physical reconnaissance and establishment of control centre within targets. Further details are required.29. Why did the terrorists not come to the notice of Gujarat and Maharashtra governments after having travelled by sea in their territory including reported refuelling enroute? Besides, how did they manage to evade so many coastal radars?
