**The prosecution has concluded its case in the trial of the man alleged to be the sole surviving gunman in last year’s Mumbai (Bombay) attacks.**Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab, a Pakistani national, faces 86 charges, including waging war on India, murder and possessing explosives.
In all 610 witnesses have testified since the case began in March.
The November 2008 attacks left 174 people dead, including nine gunmen, and soured ties between India and Pakistan.
The BBC’s Prachi Pinglay in the special court in Mumbai says that a verdict in the case is expected early next year.
Our correspondent says that it is not yet clear whether the defence will call any witnesses.
In November the judge in the case removed the main lawyer representing Mr Qasab, saying he was trying to delay proceedings.
Advocate KP Pawar is now defending the accused man, who was arrested on the first day of the attacks and has been in Indian custody ever since.
He originally denied the charges against him but in July, in a dramatic outburst in court, admitted his role and asked to be hanged. His plea was not accepted and the trial continued.
The prosecution has also wound up its arguments in the cases of two Indians accused of being Mr Qasab’s accomplices.
The attacks soured relations between India and Pakistan and Delhi suspended peace talks with Islamabad.
After initial denials, Pakistan acknowledged that Mr Qasab was one of its citizens and that the attacks had been partially planned on its territory.
Last month a court in Pakistan charged seven people in connection with the attacks, including the suspected mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, who is alleged to head the banned militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
