After Maharashtra government gave permission to bring the two face to face, the Crime Branch of Mumbai police took Jundal to the high-security jail, where Kasab is lodged in a bombproof egg-shaped cell since 2008, on Thursday.

The two were interrogated together for at least one and half hours and during the interface', Kasab, the lone surviving Pakistani terrorist of the 26/11, said Jundal was one of the main conspirators, police sources said.

Police had decided to confront the two after Jundal, one of the handlers of the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attack, made some revelations during interrogation about training imparted to terrorists in Pakistan.

He had allegedly told the police that he had taught Hindi to the 26/11 attackers.

Jundal had also said that he had met LeT operative David Headley, a co-accused in the 26/11 attack case.
