Mumbai, July 30 - The Mumbai court trying the 26/11 attack Thursday urged police to take action against the officer who leaked Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab's confessional video to a TV channel here.

A 67-minute video CD of Kasab's confession, recorded by police in a hospital soon after his arrest during the last year's terror attacks in Mumbai, was repeatedly telecast by TV9 last week.

Taking a serious note of the leakage, Judge M.L. Tahilyani said the concerned officer had committed a theft and a 'breach of trust' by giving the CD of the sensitive confession by Kasab recorded by the police Nov 27, 2008.

He directed the police to file its reply to an application moved by defence lawyer S.G. Abbas Kazmi Wednesday seeking the court's directives to take the confession on the record as it was neither a part of the charge sheet nor the evidence.

Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said the confession was recorded during Kasab's interrogation at Nair Hospital.

He argued that a statement recorded by police is part of interrogation and investigations and is not admissible in the court.
