Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving terrorist of the 26/11 attack and a
member of Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) was hanged
at Pune's Yerawada jail at 7.30 am on Wednesday and later buried inside
the jail premises. A fax message on the decision taken on Kasab was sent
to Pakistan's foreign ministry. While Pakistan acknowledged the fax, it
has not claimed Kasab's body.
Kasab's mercy plea was rejected by President Pranab Mukherjee on November 5. The execution order was signed by Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on November 7 and forwarded to Yerwada jail authorities on November 8.
Kasab was reportedly aware of the date on which he was to be executed and had been made to sign his death warrant before being moved to the Pune jail on November 19. According to official sources, a senior jail official read out the death warrant to Kasab at his cell and also informed him that his clemency petition had been rejected by the President.
