DEATH SENTENCE FOR AJMAL KASAB- lONE SURVIVING TERRORIST IN 26/11 MUMBAI ATTACKS

Kasab, a Pakistan citizen, has turned into one of India's costliest prisoners. Till now, the Government has spent over 35 crore rupees for his safety.

A Mumbai Special Court, which conducted the trial of 26/11 terror strikes,after 526 dayz has announced the death penalty for Ajmal Amir Kasab. The sentencing by Judge M L Tahiliyani makes Kasab the 52nd person on death row in India. Kasab was handed capital punishment for killing 72 people and waging war against the state.

The 22-year-old Kasab, from Pakistan's Punjab province was seen crying as he was led back to the court room after stepping out briefly with the judge's consent to drink water.

At one point, special judge M.L. Tahaliyani asked the defence lawyer if Kasab wanted to say something. When the question was posed to him, Kasab just shook his head. He looked irritated and again sat down. The judge then spoke directly to the prisoner in Hindi: 'Do you want to say something?' Kasab looked at the judge blankly, shook his head and sat down.

The death penalty will not be executed immediately.First,it has to be confirmed by Bombay High Court.Even if Kasab doesn't apeal against death sentence it has to be confirmed by High court.if appeal is agrred by high court then Ksab can appeal to the Supreme Court.He has also one more option to file for mercy petition to President Pratibha Patil.

For ur general knowledge India's statistics shows that..

At least 100 people in 2007, 40 in 2006, 77 in 2005, 23 in 2002, and 33 in 2001 were sentenced (but not executed) to death, according to Amnesty International figures. No official statistics of those sentenced to death have been released.
Afzal Guru was convicted of conspiracy in connection with the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and was sentenced to death. The Supreme Court of India upheld the sentence, ruling that the attack "shocked the conscience of the society at large." Afzal was scheduled to be executed on October 20, 2006, but the sentence was stayed. The Afzal case remains a volatile political issue.And now Kasab's Death punishment will again bring Afzal's case in light...
