A nightmare was observed on 26 November when around 10 terrorists who entered Mumbai via the sea root attacked the heart of Mumbai and ripped apart around 160 life’s and shook away the entire nation. All the terrorists were killed in the 48 hour long battle between the NSG Commando’s and the terrorists, accept “AJMAL KASAB”.
A special court in Mumbai today sentenced to death Mohammad Ajmal Kasab for the November 26, 2008, terror attacks on the city.
Reading out the sentence, Special Judge M L Tahaliyani said Ajmal Kasab be hanged by the neck until death
The judge sent Kasab to the gallows on five counts —mass murder, abetment of murder, waging war against India, conspiracy and terror —offences covered under the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Kasab was also handed down life sentence on an equal number of counts — attempt to murder, conspiracy to wage war, collecting arms with an intention to wage war against the nation, kidnapping in order to commit murder and causing explosion to endanger life or property.
The verdict evoked instant reaction with people bursting crackers outside Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) where Kasab was caught on camera killing people.
Generally news of death evokes feeling of disappointment and discomfort among the minds of the people but in this case people preferred to celebrate which sums up the act undertaken by him.
But this nightmare is not over, as thanks to our democracy Kasab has an option of going to the Supreme Court and also to file for mercy petition with the president. So still there is a lot of time before we actually see the nightmare being hanged till death. But we can only hope that the decision is taken rapidly and Kasab gets to experience what he actually deserves.
