Saswat Panigrahi
Kasab hanged — India woke up to this news last Wednesday morning and citizens heaved a sigh of relief.
Kasab hanged — India woke up to this news last Wednesday morning and citizens heaved a sigh of relief.
It took exactly four years to complete the ‘due process of
law’ and execute the lone surviving 26/11 terrorist. Kasab was prosecuted,
convicted, given a chance to plead for mercy and finally executed after the
President rejected his mercy plea. All this despite — as some argue — him not
deserving a full-fledged trial.
Kasab and nine other jihadis brought a gory tale to life
with blood in the city of Mumbai, snuffing out the lives of 166 innocent people
and wounding more than 300.
Many say the butcher of Mumbai should have been hanged in
public, but the Government chose to execute him under a cloak of secrecy in
Pune’s Yerwada Jail and revealed the news only after he breathed his last.
