Men Who Received Capital Punishment in India


2. Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab:

Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, a Pakistani militant and a member of the Lashkar-e-Taiba Islamist group was a prime accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack in India. Kasab was the only attacker captured alive by police. He was found guilty of 80 offences that include murder waging war against India, possessing explosives, and other charges. Kasab’s images that were captured at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus on that deadly night- with his backpack on his shoulders and an AK-47 hanging hastily, turned out to be the main evidence of his inhuman act.  He was eventually sentenced to death for attacking India’s financial capital and for taking away the lives of over 160 people.  On 21st November, 2012, Kasab was hanged till death at 7.30 am in Pune's Yerwada Jail.
