ABSTRACT
The 26/11 Mumbai terror attack was one of the deadliest incidents in India’s history. Ajmal Kasab, the only attacker captured alive, provided crucial details about the attack’s planning and execution. This study uses Layered Voice Analysis (LVA) to examine Kasab’s voice from publicly available sources. By detecting deception patterns, stress markers, and psychological cues, the research evaluates LVA’s effectiveness in forensic investigations related to terrorism. Using a case study approach, the findings offer insights into terrorist psychology and discuss the potential role of LVA in counterterrorism strategies.
