Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab, 22, court awarded him the death verdict on five counts on Thursday. He has also been given a life period on five counts. Kasab has been found guilty of murdering seven citizens, helping murder 159 others and waging war against India through a 62-hour siege beginning November 26, 2008.
While announcing the verdict, the judge M L Tahiliyani said words could not explain the cruelty of the 26/11 attack. "This man has lost the right of receiving humanitarian benefit," the judge said. He said that there would no possibility that Kasab would change and that there was no choice but to give the death penalty. He observed that undue sympathy would do harm and leniency could not be shown.
Judge Tahiliyani also said this was a case of "exceptional depravity" and rubbished claims that Kasab was subjective by the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). He said Kasab had willingly joined the LeT and was under no pressure to do so.
