November 6. President signed the
Kasab's death sentence file on
November 5 and I also signed it on
November 8. Later, on November 8, it
was decided that Ajmal Kasab will be
hanged on November 21."
According to Maharashtra home minister
R R Patil: "26/11 Mumbai terror attack
accused Ajmal Kasab's mercy petition
was rejected on November 8. He also
confirmed that Kasab was hanged at
about 7:30am on Wednesday.
"The punishment to Kasab is a true
tribute to the victims and martyrs of the
26/11 Mumbai terror attacks," Patil said.
Meanwhile, home minister Sushil Shinde
said: "Indian mission in Islamabad
informs Pakistan government about
Kasab's hanging through letter. Pakistan
refuses to take the letter, which was
then faxed."
Earlier, the Lashkar-e-Toiba operative
was shifted from Mumbai's Arthur Road
Jail to Pune's Yerawada Jail.
The entire process was executed very
secretly, home minister said.
"Yes, Kasab has been hanged this
(Wednesday) morning at 7.30am in
Yerawada Central Jail," Special Public
Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, who led the
26/11 terror attacks case.
In January 2010, nine of Kasab's
associates, who had sneaked into
Mumbai on the night of Nov 26, 2008, to
unleash three days of terror, were
quietly buried at an undisclosed location
near Mumbai.
Kasab's end came just five days before
the fourth anniversary of the brutal
terror attacks that killed 166 lives and
injured 300.
