- description: Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving terrorist from the 2008 Mumbai attacks, was hanged to death on Wednesday, 21st November 2012 at Yerwada Jail in Pune. Kasab was executed at 7:30am at Yerwada jail in Pune, Maharashtra after President Pranab Mukherjee rejected his mercy plea. Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab (Urdu: محمد اجمل امیر قصاب; (13 September 1987 - 21 November 2012(Death Sentence by Supreme Court of India)) was a Pakistani militant who was involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks in India. Kasab was the only attacker captured alive by police. The Government of Pakistan initially denied that Kasab was from Pakistan, but in January 2009, it officially accepted that he was a Pakistani citizen. On 3 May 2010, an Indian court convicted him of murder, waging war on India, possessing explosives, and other charges. On 6 May 2010, the same trial court sentenced him to death on four counts and to a life sentence on five other counts. Kasab was sentenced to death for attacking Mumbai and killing 166 people on 26 November 2008 along with nine terrorists. He was found guilty of 80 offences, including waging war against the nation, which is punishable by the death penalty. Kasab's death sentence was upheld by the Bombay High Court on 21 February 2011. The verdict was upheld by the Supreme Court of India on 29 August 2012., and he was hanged on 21 November 2012 at 7:30 A.M. Kasab was born in Faridkot village in the Okara District of Punjab, Pakistan, to Amir Shahban Kasab and Noor Illahi. His father is a dahi puri vendor while his elder brother, Afzal, works as a labourer in Lahore. His elder sister, Rukaiyya Husain, is married in the village. A younger sister, Suraiyya, and brother, Munir, live in Faridkot with their parents. The family belongs to the Qassab community. According to reports, the village of Faridkot is quite impoverished and isolated, despite being close to a larger town, Depalpur, Pakistan. On the side of a building, just outside Faridkot, graffiti in large lettering says, in Urdu, "Go for jihad. Go for jihad. Markaz Dawat ul-Irshad". 'Markaz Dawat ul-Irshad' is a parent organisation of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Ajmal Kasab is alleged to be among a group of 24 men who received training in marine warfare at a remote camp in mountainous Muzaffarabad in POK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir). Part of the training is reported to have taken place on the Mangla Dam reservoir. Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, a senior commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, reportedly offered to pay his family Rs.150,000 for his participation in the attacks. Another report said the 23-year-old was recruited from his home, in part, based on a pledge by recruiters to pay Rs.100,000 to his family when he became a martyr. Other sources put the reward to US $4,000.
