Ajmal Kasab was born on 13 july 1987 in Pakistan. He was a Pakistani militant and a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba Islamist group. After then he took part in 2008 Mumbai Attacks in India. He was the only attacker captured alive by police, main role played by the ASI Tukaram Omble and killed during the 2008 Mumbai Attacks while fighting terrorists at Girgaum Chowpatty.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station was the place where he was captured on CCTV, along with another terrorist Ismail Khan.They then moved on to attack a police vehicle at Cama Hospital,in which senior Mumbai police officers were travelling.they killed them in a gun battle and drove a Qualis towards metro cinema.They went to the Vidhan Bhavan and fired a few more shots. After then they had a tire puncture, so they stole a silver Skoda Laura and drove towards Girgaum Chowpatty,and was caught then trying to escape in a car and taken to the Nair Hospital. But in the court he confesses that he had come to Mumbai to act in Bollywood films and was arrested by Mumbai police 3 days before the attacks in 2009. Then he was sentenced to the death penalty. In 2011 he appeal against death penalty and on 21st February 2011 the sentence was upheld. He moved to Supreme Court of India on 30 July 2011.After that he sentenced to death on 29th August 2012.
And finally 21st November 2012 was a red letter day in the 26/11 chapter; he was hanged in Yerwada Jail. Respected President Pranab Mukherjee rejected Kasab’s Mercy plea and finally he hanged. But no one knows the reason, why there is so much secrecy behind hanging Kasab? Date should get declared before hanging him but in the end, people must congratulate the police force for maintaining the secrecy and doing their job right.
It is a matter of great satisfaction for the country. This has sent a strong message to the terror operators across the border.
